Bolonia Beach, Coastal beach in Costa de la Luz, Spain.
Bolonia Beach is a sandy beach on the Atlantic coast in Cádiz Province, Andalusia, about 500 km south of Madrid. The sand meets the water at the foot of high dunes, and the wide, shallow shore leaves room for swimming and walking. The climate is mild, averaging 18 °C, with July around 26 °C and February around 10 °C.
The site lies near Roman ruins dating back to the 2nd century BC, remnants of an ancient settlement that once processed fish for trade. These remains show that people have used this coastline for thousands of years.
Bolonia's beach bars sit beside the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia, a city founded around the 2nd century BC. Visitors eat fried fish and regional dishes within sight of the forum and the tuna-salting factories, so a meal here is taken next to the remains of the fish trade that once supplied Rome.
