## Spots in Spain (Alboran)

- [Playa de la Carihuela](https://yosurf.app/spot/playa-de-la-carihuela): Spain (Alboran); Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; One of the best-known spots in the area for the consistency and quality of its waves. A long beach split in two by the port at Benalmádena; the northern stretch is usually the better one.
- [Playa del Dedo](https://yosurf.app/spot/playa-del-dedo): Spain (Alboran); Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A classic urban beachbreak, popular with Malaga surfers who'd rather avoid the crowds (and the pollution) at the city-centre spots of Misericordia and Malagueta.
- [Faro de Calaburra](https://yosurf.app/spot/faro-de-calaburra): Spain (Alboran); Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; One of the better spots around: decent waves with some punch and good shape on east swells.
- [Los Alamos](https://yosurf.app/spot/los-alamos): Spain (Alboran); Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A long beach north of Torremolinos, only recently surfed but now very popular for its short, hollow peaks that are great for manoeuvres.

- [Playa Cueva del Lobo](https://yosurf.app/spot/playa-cueva-del-lobo): Spain (Alboran); Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate; A long grey-sand beach that picks up plenty of swell, rarely surfed but well worth a look. A good left can form in front of Pueblo Indalo.
