La Calita, Rock and white sand beach in Nigrán, Spain.

La Calita extends for 130 meters along the coast, featuring a natural combination of rocky formations and stretches of white sand that meet the Atlantic Ocean.

The beach area has been an integral part of Nigrán's maritime activities, with local fishermen using its natural coves as launching points throughout generations.
