The narrow streets of the village are lined with whitewashed houses that contrast with the deep blue doors and windows, and the main attraction of Las Negras is undoubtedly its pristine beach. The golden sand and crystal clear waters invite visitors to relax, swim and soak up the sun. The more adventurous can also explore the surrounding bays, either on foot or by kayak.

The steep cliffs and hidden caves provide a spectacular backdrop for nature lovers and photographers, and in addition to its natural beauty, Las Negras also has a vibrant cultural scene. In the summer months, the village pulsates with music, art and local festivals.

The restaurants serve fresh fish and seafood caught by local fishermen and the bars invite you to linger over a glass of wine. Las Negras is a place that manages to offer the perfect balance between serenity and a lively atmosphere. It is a hidden gem on the coast of Spain that enchants visitors with its beauty and unmistakable charm.
