La Glea, Mediterranean beach in Dehesa de Campoamor, Spain
Playa de la Glea is a sandy beach in Dehesa de Campoamor along Spain's Mediterranean coast, stretching about 500 meters and bordered by red sandstone cliffs on its northern side. The beach extends toward the nearby sports marina Miguel Caballero and provides a typical seaside setting.
La Glea lies in Orihuela's Dehesa de Campoamor, on the Comunitat Valenciana coast about 400 km southeast of Madrid. The sources record no founding date or major construction episode for the beach itself; its documented setting is the dry Rio Nacimiento ravine at the southern end, which carries water only in heavy rain.
Local eating places here serve typical Mediterranean dishes that draw both residents and visitors during warm months. The beach itself functions as a gathering spot where people swim, walk, and spend leisure time together.
La Glea sits at the mouth of the Río Nacimiento ravine, where the sand meets the water at the southern end of Dehesa de Campoamor, next to the marina Miguel Caballero. The beach is reached on foot from the Campoamor urbanizations; the northern red sandstone cliffs shade part of the shore in the afternoon. Summer brings the busiest weeks, so mornings are easier for swimming and walking the shore.
At the southern end sits a dry ravine called Rio Nacimiento that transforms into a water channel during heavy rainfall. This natural system reveals how water flows across this coastline during wetter seasons.
