Playa de EspaƱa is a scenic beach nestled in the municipality of Villaviciosa, situated where the EspaƱa River meets the sea, between the parishes of Villaverde and Quintes. This beach is renowned for its stunning environment featuring cliffs and rock formations, which are known to contain fossil remains. The name "Playa EspaƱa" is derived from an Asturian term "espaƱar", signifying the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, a characteristic feature of this beach.
The beach has a unique natural feature where springwater flows directly into the ocean, dividing the beach into two distinct sections. This, along with the strong waves, makes Playa de EspaƱa a popular spot for surfers. However, potential swimmers should take note that there may be algae washed up on the beach and in the water near the shore, and caution is advised due to the presence of many rocks near the shore during high tide.
In terms of facilities, Playa de EspaƱa offers parking options at two separate locations, available for a minimal fee. Free parking is also available, but spaces are limited. Additionally, the beach provides shower facilities for the convenience of its visitors.
Playa de EspaƱa is located near a camping site and offers various dining and drinking options within a 200-meter radius. Unlike many other beaches in the vicinity, Playa de EspaƱa is pet-friendly, welcoming dogs, particularly outside the bathing season from October 1st to May 31st. This makes it a popular choice among pet owners. However, visitors are urged to respect the environment by disposing of their waste responsibly to protect the ocean and the food chain.
