Forget any preconceptions you may have of the costas. Away from the tourist haunts, there are plenty of secret places on Spain’s amazing coasts: beaches, coves, islands and sea caves, all wild, exciting and unspoilt – some so hidden they don’t have a name. In our camper van, Federica, we have explored them all, and we’re happy to share them. So immerse yourself in the clear waters of Menorca, the warm shallows of the Costa Cálida or the dune-backed bays of the Costa de la Luz. Walking times are from the nearest car park.
New book Hidden Beaches Spain details beaches around 5,000km (3,100 miles) of Spanish coastline
The tome has taken London-based travel writers Lola Culsan and John Weller years to research
The book includes descriptions of each beach and instructions on how to reach them (even GPS co-ordinates)
Hidden Beaches Spain also reveals which ones are nudist, best for families and perfect for snorkelling
Most of the stunning images in the book were taken by John - and we re previewing some of them below
