Top ten: Spain’s best beaches 2013

With a tad under 5,000km of coastline, Spain has more than enough beaches to choose from.

Choosing just ten  — OK, it's actually 11, we couldn't help ourselves — wasn't easy.

Check out The Local's top 10 of Spanish beaches here.

We haven't included any beaches in Asturias, for instance, and you won't find Andalusia's Cabo de Gato Natural Park either. 

There is also nothing from Valencia, or Murcia. Sorry about that.

But whether surfing is your thing, or dancing until dawn, or simply enjoying the bounties of nature, we're sure you'll find a beach for you.

So without further ado, here is The Local's gallery of Spain's best beaches in 2013.
