This is Praia dos Cristais de Silleiro in Galicia, a small beach famous for its colourful “crystals” - which are actually pieces of glass naturally polished by the ocean over the years.
The glass came from bottles and other discarded items, and the sea slowly turned the sharp pieces into these smooth, colourful stones. You can find them in different shades, especially green, blue and brown, which is what makes the beach look almost unreal.
And this is just one of the many unusual places in Spain we’ve been to but never showed you - some of them you probably didn’t even know existed. 👀
