Spain and Albania showcase Mediterranean coastal getaways

Travel writers highlight a range of Mediterranean destinations that offer scenic cliff‑side accommodations and pristine beaches. In Spain, six hotels along the Costa Blanca, Costa Brava and the Balearic Islands are described as evoking the Amalfi Coast, with whitewashed buildings, infinity pools and panoramic sea views. The guide notes properties such as the cliff‑top hotel in Peñíscola, the Parador de Aiguablava on the Costa Brava and adult‑only resorts in Mallorca.

A separate guide outlines eight must‑see sites along Albania’s Ionian Riviera. Key attractions include the turquoise beaches and islands of Ksamil, the lively port city of Saranda, the hidden cove of Gjipe, the historic town of Himara, the medieval streets of Dhërmi, the 7‑kilometre stretch of Borsh beach, the archaeological park of Butrint and the panoramic Llogara Pass viewpoint. Both pieces promote affordable, less‑crowded alternatives to more famous Mediterranean hotspots.
