Nestled within the picturesque municipality of Buenavista del Norte, Playa Del Fraile is a remarkable gem on the Spanish coast. This secluded beach, known for its dramatic black sand that stretches across a modest length, offers a tranquil escape from the bustling tourist spots. Here, visitors can engage in a variety of activities such as swimming in the clear waters, sunbathing on the unique sand, exploring the surrounding nature, and indulging in peaceful walks along the shore.
