About El Chucho beach
Wedged between El Playazo and Torrecilla is a stretch of beach known as El Chucho.
Only 280m in length and 30m in width, its very easy to walk past it without noticing on your way to Torrecilla or to El Playazo.
El Chucho is last beach on the western side to have a paseo maritimo - seafront promenade. The beach promenade was opened to big fanfare in February of 2010 and links El Chucho with Torrecilla.
