Questions

Common questions

How far is the walk to the water at Playa de Castilla?
1.4 km in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, about 18 min. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Playa de Castilla have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
