On the coast of Andalusia there is a white town that keeps all its character intact, despite tourism. In Caños de Meca we find unbeatable golden sunsets, turquoise waters, eternal white sand beaches and exquisite cuisine. All this in an environment hippiebohemian and very local, so charming that it will make you wonder why there are people who prefer Marbella.
You go to Caños de Meca in search of a beach and this little fishing town is a paradise for sea lovers. Its coast goes from Cape Trafalgar to the cliff of La Breña, divided into several sections, several of them nudist. The most famous is Faro Beach, located under the imposing 34-meter lighthouse from 1860, with moving dunes and a beautiful landscape that in summer is filled with markets and night parties. Of course, it is not the ideal place to bathe due to its dangerous currents.
If you are looking for something more intimate, here there are also charming little beaches between cliffs protected from the wind, such as Cala del Varadero, La Pequena Lulú, El Castillejo or La Cortina beach, surrounded by pine trees with a very wild appearance. There is also no shortage of urban beaches surrounded by restaurants and terraces where you can try local delicacies: almadraba bluefin tuna.
In addition, the town itself has charming places to visit when you have tired of the sun and the beach, such as the Crafts Market or the Mecca Tower, a 19th century fortification that served as a watchtower and remains to this day. Caños de Meca is nature, it is direct contact with the sea and it is the sunset of your life, with permission from Galicia.
