La Calilla, Hidden beach in Níjar, Spain

La Calilla extends 200 meters in length and 20 meters in width, featuring medium grain sand and clear Mediterranean waters along the Spanish coast.

The name of this coastal location carries connections to local Jewish heritage, with linguistic roots potentially linking to the Hebrew word 'Shalom'.

Local fishermen maintain traditional storage sheds along the beach, continuing centuries-old fishing practices that define the Mediterranean coastal way of life.

Access to the beach requires navigation through an alleyway next to El Salvador church, followed by a descent down a steep zigzagging ramp.

The beach offers direct views of smaller adjacent coves that become accessible during low tide, creating additional exploration opportunities.
