Do you hace pictures of the Andalusia, Basque and Mallorca regions of Spain to share?
 
I'm trying to decide which of these regions "grabs" me the most so that I can start planning my 1st trip to Spain. I must admit it's usually pictures that inspire me to travel to a particular place. Please post your links here. I am particularly interested in beach photos.

There are some Andalucia pictures in our trip report at http://www.markandmonica.com/Travel/iberia.htm

Not really the Basque Country, but as you were asking for beach pictures ... the landscape is very similar at the north coast. I took them last year in Laredo, a small coastal town in Cantabria around 45 minutes from Bilbao :

And last March's snow storm in Bilbao ...

I'll try to find more pictures for you,

Hi,

This link should get you to my Spain pictures. They are not labeled, but pictures 61 through about 120 are of Sevilla, the pueblos blanco (mostly Ronda), and Granada. The last bunch are of Barcelona. Didn't go to Mallorca. My trip was this past February.

Try www.basquecountry-tourism.com

The Basque country has amazing and clean beaches, many of them with the Blue European Flag. Also, it's a very unspoilt region.
Beaches in Andalucia are nice, but full of high rise apartments and hotels, and not very "authentic" in some areas.
Mallorca can be nice too, but be careful on which area you choose. Some are not that unspoilt at all.

Oh, I have some Mallorca pictures that I'd love to share! Unfortunately, I don't have access to them right now. I'll post them from home later tonight...

Thanks everyone for sharing!

I am more interested in unspoiled beaches, so maybe I'll focus my research more on the Basque region. Although I've read that the Costa de la Luz is unspoiled as well.

Hi AP,

if you are thinking "unspoiled", may I add Galicia to your search? There are some magnificent beaches up there. I am thinking of places such as the Playa de las Catedrales in Lugo
http://www.lariadearosa.com/CostaGal.html
or the Natural Park of Corrubedo, near Arosa. http://galice.net.free.fr/galice.net...ver_playas.htm

Rgds, Cova

Ps. A good place to look for spanish beaches http://www.esplaya.com/

Thanks again all! Esplaya.com is great.

AP6380,

If you are still interested in Mallorca, here's a link to a few pictures from our honeymoon last year...

I have several pics of the beautiful Mediterranean, but not really of beaches - sorry! Also, only about the first half of these photos are from Mallorca - the rest are Barcelona. Hope this helps!
