While hopping between two of Spain's most famous coastal cities, stop in an under-the-radar beach town to explore ancient architecture and hidden coves.

Spaniards are increasingly being priced out of their own sun-drenched beaches, as an unprecedented tourism boom drives up hotel and rental costs, making coastal holidays unaffordable for many locals.

Nothing ruins that dream European vacation quicker than having to share it with millions of other tourists, so make a beeline for these crowd-free spots.
