The British daily has named the most beautiful beaches in Europe. These 40 places delight travelers and locals

From Portugal, through Spain, France, to Croatia and Greece, Europe has no shortage of fabulous beaches. Both popular ones and hidden ones, whose existence is guarded by locals. The Telegraph decided to select 40 beaches that should become the destination of a trip during this year's holiday.

During your trip to Spain, it is worth visiting Playa de Bolonia .

- Popular with nature lovers, surfers and anyone interested in Roman memorabilia, thanks to the fascinating archaeological complex of Baelo Claudia - the editorial team describes this place located in the province of Cadiz.

Another characteristic feature of this beach are the dunes. One of them is as much as 30 meters.

Another heavenly corner in Spain is Praia de Rodas - a beach located on the Cies Islands, in Galicia, where "white sands contrast with the pine forest and the cold Atlantic" and where "it is quiet, clean and beautiful". In the country of bullfighters, the beaches of La Concha, Playa de Poo, Praia As Catedrais, Platja de Treumal and Platja de Formentor are also worthy of attention.

When visiting Portugal, it is worth taking the temptation to relax on the beaches of Porto Santo, Praia da Adraga, Praia Fluvial de Monsaraz, Praia do Barril or Praia do Cabedelo . The latter may be worthy of special attention.

- Most people stick to the south coast, but the north coast of Portugal is also full of beaches, often less crowded. Praia do Cabedelo is located among dunes and pine forest. The waves here are perfect for surfing, especially for beginners and intermediate surfers - the editorial team describes.

The Telegraph also included places in northern Europe in its list. Among them are Binz beach on the German island of Rugia - near the border with Poland, Norwegian Haukland, Danish Blokhus and Sandhammaren in the Swedish city of Skåne.
