This is the Malaga beach competing to be the best in Spain and Andalusia

From now until May 29, the search is on for the best beach in Spain and Málaga has its representative. It is the prestigious travel portal Traveler that is focusing on finding the best beach in the country by selecting the top beaches from up to six autonomous communities: Andalucía, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Cantabria, Catalonia, and the Valencian Community. Out of the 25 selected beaches in total, there is one from the province of Málaga, which has earned the right to compete for the title: Cabopino Beach, in Marbella.

Traveler selects the beaches but it is the general public that will vote for the best beaches in the country and in each autonomous community. Voting opened last week and will remain open until May 29, at 23:59 hours through this link. These votes will lead to a second phase, starting from May 30, where the finalist beaches will be to find the one that will win the Condé Nast Traveler Award for the 'Best Beach in Spain 2025'.

"Summer is drawing closer, the one we so desperately need, beginning to awaken and inviting us to enjoy it as it deserves: at the beach. And there's no need to hop on a plane and land in some Caribbean spot to make peace with the world: Spain overflows with coastal beauty," mention the folks at Traveler, launched in the quest for the beach that will take the prize in 2025, an accolade previously won by other coastal areas like Zarautz Beach (Guipúzcoa), Bolonia (Cádiz), Valdevaqueros (Cádiz), San Antonio del Mar (Asturias) or Papagayo (Lanzarote).

Thus, Cabopino Beach in Marbella, one of the most natural and beautiful beaches in the entire province of Málaga, is contending for this recognition in this edition. In Andalucía, the award-winning Bolonia (Tarifa, Cádiz) reappears, as well as others like Playa de los Genoveses (Níjar, Almería) or the Playa de Matalascañas (Huelva).
