British newspaper, The Guardian, has named the Playa de Rodas, in Galicia, as the Best Beach in the World.
The beach is part of the Cíes Islands National Park.
The paper describes the beach as 'a perfect crescent of soft, pale sand backed by small dunes sheltering a calm lagoon of crystal-clear sea'.
There are several British beaches in the paper's top ten, but none on the Mediterranean.
