A Beach Holiday in Spain
Spend a day at a Spanish beach: set up, swim safely, order at the chiringuito and enjoy the evening.
Spanish beaches in August are busy, so people go early to grab a spot, plant a sombrilla and check the lifeguard's flag. Lunch is at the chiringuito around two, followed by a siesta and an evening walk on the paseo. The cards follow a couple's beach day on the Costa Blanca, from planning the night before to the sunset.
