Far from the idea that Spanish beaches are often crowded, the bay of Los Genoveses is still virgin. The beach is named after the landing of the Genoese ships in 1147, who came to help the Castile troops during the capture of the city of Almeria. It is located in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park, Andalusia. Here we see no concrete or transatlantic on the horizon. Its fine and golden sand dunes extend over a kilometer. And to crown it all, a majestic volcano imposes itself as a backdrop.
If you are looking for an unusual beach, away from any agitation, set the course on the beach of los Genoveses. It is accessed by a dirt road of about one kilometre.

Change of scenery in Albania, which could not be absent from this top of the most beautiful hidden beaches in Europe.

This white sand beach, with enchanting natural setting and turquoise water, is loved in the hollow of a cliff. That’s what leaves us dreamy, isn’t it?
The beach of Gjipe is worth it since you reach it either after having walked thirty minutes on an accidental road or by the sea. You will not be completely alone but it remains very quiet and preserved, even in the middle of the season.
