Playa de La Rijana, Coastal beach in Gualchos, Spain.
The dark sand beach stretches 350 meters along the coastline, enclosed by steep cliffs with a width of 20 meters near the N-340 road.
The beach has remained unchanged over centuries, maintaining its natural state without commercial development or modification of the surrounding coastal landscape.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices in the waters near La Rijana Beach, maintaining connections to regional maritime customs.
