Playa Del Cura holidays
A cliffside decorated with perched buildings looks down on the bronze sands of pretty Playa del Cura. Small and quiet, you’ll find low-key and drama-free is the name of the game here. Dark sands and pebbles really captivate along the water, but inland you’ll be spoilt with seafood joints, animated bars and snug pubs. There’s a lovely promenade that runs parallel to the beach – perfect for seafront walks, sipping a cool drink at a terrace café or enjoying fresh seafood paella as the sun sets. There’s always a spot to soak in the view. Evenings bring a relaxed buzz, with street musicians and friendly crowds adding to the charm.
