Duna de Bolonia is one of the largest sand dunes in Europe stretching to 30m high and 200m wide.

Situated right on this famous coastline are the lesser-known Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia.

According to BBC Travel, Duna de Bolonia is considered to be one of Spain’s best-preserved Roman settlements, the site dates all the way back to the 2nd Century.

Despite its longstanding history, most tourists don’t even know that they exist.

Entry into the ruins costs €1.50 (it’s free for EU citizens) and visitors can expect to see an ancient bath house, a theatre, temple and other ancient buildings.

In the last few years, experts have uncovered ancient burial tombs too, so it’s likely plenty more secrets lie beneath the sandy depths.

Spain is home to plenty of other secrets too – including some beaches that aren’t crawling with tourists.

One of those beaches is Cala Pedrosa in Costa Brava, this stony cove is an 800m walk from the main road to get to in, close to the border of France.

Many opt for a boat to get to it due to the rocky terrain, but once there, don’t expect to see many other people at the shingle beach.

There’s also latja Illetes in Formentera, which is often compared to the Maldives or the Caribbean.

We’ve rounded up a few more secret Spanish beaches too.

Meanwhile Andalusia has become the first major location in Spain to hint about the return of Covid regulations.

The news comes after Spain brought back some of their Covid restrictions due to soaring Covid cases abroad.

Passengers arriving at Spanish airports from China will now be screened for Covid, with arrivals needing a negative Covid test or proof of vaccination.
