“My, my, there is no beach here” said ‘The soft drinks’ in their famous song, referring to Madrid. And they were right, there isn’t. The closest natural beach is about a four-hour drive away. But that will stop importing as of this year because, less than an hour from the Spanish capital, the largest artificial beach in Europe is being built.
Specifically, in the town of Alovera, in the province of Guadalajara. This historic town, whose first mentions date back to the 16th century, will house an artificial beach with a 25,000-square-meter lake.
Not only that, but the beach, which will be known as Alovera Beach, will have sand, of course, but also beach bars, a water park and an area for water sports. Who needs to go to the coast?
Of course, if we want to access this beach, we will have to pay an entrance fee. Access will cost about 10 euros per person in which neither the price of other activities nor the consumption in beach bars and restaurants are included. According to the promoters in charge of the work, the artificial beach will be open this summer.
