Latest reviews on Portbou's beaches

Platja del Borro
8 Rajan Mehta

That place is ideal for those who want to get away from it all. It is not easy to access this beach by public transport; the nearest train stations, Colera and Llança, are 3-4 kms away. It is a naturist beach, so remember to bring your own food, as there are no bars or restaurants nearby. If you are travelling by car, however, it is easy to get here. The sea is tranquil, making it perfect for swimming and snorkelling.
