We had the Costa Blanco all to ourselves
Canet d'En Berenguer
Sagunto, Spain
June 4, 2012
We were prepared to brave the crowds at Spanish beaches to experience our first swim in the Meditteranean. But it wasn't necessary: a Chernobyl-like ghostliness greeted us, the residue of the popped housing bubble along the Spanish coast, where towers of condos sat nearly empty. A broad playa yawned at us, and we did have fun playing in the warm, blue, salty water.
