The most beautiful natural sites to discover Spain

The town has a few small coves with crystal clear waters such as the Cabo Cervera, one of the most beautiful beaches in Torrevieja or Cala Ferris for divers. Note that the Higuera Creek has a wooden ramp, allowing easy access to the sea. On the beaches, the playa del cura is the most urban, so fully equipped. The city also has natural pools, a set of small piers forming a bathing area with beaches surrounded by rocks.

If Elche does not lack assets to visit, the city also has six beaches enjoying an environment of dunes and pine trees, very pleasant and quite exceptional on this coast. In the north, the three beaches, El Altet, Arenales del Sol and Carabassí are perfect for water sports, from the wind and the richness of the sea beds. In the south, you will find El Pinet, La Marina and Les Pesquere-el Rebollo.

Here is the Molino de Mareas (Mill des Marées) which houses exhibits on fauna and flora, it is a protected area of 2 145 ha of swamps, a small paradise for birds.

On the menu, 13 km of coastline, 14 beaches and coves. The beaches of Arenal-Bol and Fossa Levante are equipped with all the facilities and services. Side coves quiet, to opt for the Bassettes, renowned for its crystalline waters and seabed, just like the Manzanera, the Urques, ideal for scuba diving.

It is the former wetlands of Elche where the saltworks have been set up. They are divided into two zones, the salt marsh area and the marsh area. Fauna and flora are of course adapted to this humidity and to the salinity rate. Throughout the year, the park is home to more than 150 species of birds, including impressive pink flamingos colonies. Its access is free.

25 km south of Plasencia by C 524. Monfragüe's natural site is one of the most beautiful parks in Europe. Opened since 1979, it covers over 500 km ² of steep peaks in the north, wooded hills, rivers, Taje and Tiétar. Its typically Mediterranean flora gives it a great ecological interest: green oaks and cork oaks, strawberry or lauriers, wild olive trees, brooms to brooms. Its rich and varied fauna includes a large number of protected species such as mongooses, black vultures, black storks, imperial eagles, wild boars, red deer or Iberian lynx.

Certainly the most moving rock paintings on the Iberian Peninsula. While the gallery is smaller than in other caves and smaller paintings, they have been imagined and realized not as isolated drawings but as a true work of art thought with subjects communicating with each other and with the visitor as the latter moves into the cave. The light games and the shapes of the walls are studied to give the best effects of movements and the best possible prospects. It is really great art that you are advised to discover on a guided tour so that you don't lose much of the details that make Covalanas a special cave. The narrow gallery imposes small groups, 7 or 8 people, which encourages contact with works as with the guide. Rarely you will have the opportunity to be so close to original paintings in such a good state of conservation!

The cave is 2.5 km from the city center. A very pleasant hiking trail allows you to walk there on foot with a little more than 200 m. It's a good way to take the time to discover the beautiful panoramas surrounding the cave. It is believed that many populations inhabited caves in the prehistoric era. A total of 14 caves adorned with paintings or engravings were found in the vicinity.

Covalanas is a space entirely dedicated to painting, some kind of prehistoric cinema or museum. Research actually showed that the places of habitation were lower on the mountain, and only paint tools were found in the cave itself. The artist or artists came here only to exercise their art, for the purpose that we still do not know. In any case, they painted in a place where the only way to see the paintings was to bring the light. At 65 meters from the entrance of the cave, the gallery was actually plunged into the darkness, and lighting lamps had to contribute to giving movement effects to the represented animals.

The paintings would be 7,000 years more than Altamira bison and Lascaux mammoths. Animals represented here are deer and biches, animals placed very high in mammalian pantheon depicted on Hispanic walls. The technique used is that of pointillism: you will notice that the strokes are not full but made up of points of points obtained by affixing the thumb, coated with manganese oxide, on the wall. There are twenty figures, including a bison and a horse, all of which are biches or deer. While it is difficult of course to interpret the will of the artist, you will notice that the overall schema answers a plan and the choice of locations is not insignificant. Animals seem to look at us, get away or get closer to us, depending on where we are in the gallery, without any failure in the plot. At some distances, the biches of the entrance to the gallery may sound real, as the guet while the others already run on our arrival. The motives of Covalanas' artist will certainly never be known, and if the cave visit does not provide answers, it has at least the merit of prompting us to question the meaning of these paintings and the message they give us.

This small island is only accessible by boat from the «capital» port of Ibiza. The colors are wonderful between white sand and turquoise waters. Many beaches are naturist: they are frequented mainly by Germans and also Spaniards. All naturist and non-naturist are combined with problems. You can cite the great beaches of Llevant, Migjorn and His Illetes.

This is the city's main attraction. In the north of the harbour, Levante beach is the best known and wide, approximately 2 km of fine sand. With all along, a sea promenade littered with terraces and restaurants and especially lively, especially in the evening. To the south of the harbour, you can find the beach of Poniente, which is about three kilometres long and has many places to relax or drink a drink, practically all year round. It should be noted that its promenade, works by architects Carlos Ferrater and Xavier Martí Galí, recreates the shapes of cliffs and waves to generate areas of shade and light. Between these two beaches, in a space that communicates with the old town, you find the little cove of Evil Pas and, in front of it, the island of Benidorm, on which you can go by boat and which is also a small paradise for scuba diving. Finally, at the far north of Benidorm, we can find, and yes, two small natural coves: It Ximo and the Almadrava, rather quiet since away from downtown and located in a rugged area, quite inaccessible. You can dive there because the rocky funds are quite interesting.

Le (or ravine) of Guayadeque is classified as a natural monument and a cultural interest. The road that gremlin at the bottom of the Barranco is magnificent, and follows the course of a rio seco with a lush nature, populated with many almond almonds in the spring. In the heart of the Barranco is Cueva Bermeja, a cave village of prehispanic origin. You will also see the chapel of San Bartolomé Apostol, carved in the mountain. Many testimonies of the pre-Hispanic civilization have been found, such as mummies and cave paintings.

Restaurants. Several restaurants and bars, placed in natural rock, offer local cuisine. We recommend you El Centro or Le Tagoror which offers authentic evenings with typical cuisine and to discover the folklore of the islands.

Hiking. An easy walk runs through the ravine and allows you to discover the natural and cultural riches of the site. The trail starts at km 2,2 of the GC 103 road, shortly after the centre, with interpretation and winds up to Cueva Bermeja. Count 3 hours return.

The small port of Port de Sóller is very pleasant despite its narrow étroitesse and pebbles (very little sand); And although the boats are moored within a few metres, the water is perfectly clear for most of the time.

The city has a range of beaches that follow the coastline. To the north, the nearest to the city is Punta del Raset, followed by Les Marines - greater sandy beach - then the Bovetes, Els Molins, Alamadrava and Deveses. From the centre of Dénia, a bus allows you to regularly access the sea beach. To the south of the city you can access the Marineta Casiana, a sandy beach and then it will be the beginning of the rocky coves "Les Rotes", where one will notice the Cape of San Antonio, one of the most impressive landscapes in this region. The marine reserve of San Antonio is a protected area of great ecological value. A walk along the Rotes, on the other hand, is strongly recommended for scuba diving, a prior permit must be requested from the tourist office.

The city has nearly 11 km of white sandy beaches facing the south, including Levant, Varadero and Gran Playa. Next to the Naturel Naturel natural park, in the extreme southwest of the municipality, El Pinet is a virgin beach which can only be accessed on foot and also enjoy a beautiful view of the bay. The Calanques of Santiago Barnabeu are also interesting for divers.

This park was built in 1986, on the location of old railway warehouses. Some elements have been preserved in this urban landscape, in the form of waterfalls and the Arab patio.

In the west of the city you will find Playa Jardin. These black sandy beaches have, like Lago Martianez, been renovated by artist César Manrique. It has enriched this area of gardens, as its name indicates, dykes, bars, restaurants and leisure areas. Three new beaches were thought of: Playa del Charcón, Playa del Castillo and the Playa de Punta Brava.

A few kilometres northeast of Puerto de la Cruz, you will find two beautiful beaches: Playa de los Patos (frequented by the nudist) and Playa del Bollullo, both located in El Rincon, on La Orotava commune. Guagua No. 376 will lead you to these huge black sandy beaches. You will have to walk a little to access it.

In the surroundings of Las Palmas, the main point of interest is the Caldera de Bandama. Not far from Santa Brígida, a small road leads to the main volcanic site of Gran Canaria. This circular crater, 1 km in diameter and more than 200 m deep, is due to a violent explosion during a "hydro magmatic" eruption, bringing lava and water from a lake, river or groundwater into contact. The Bandama caldera is a typical example. We will have the best views from the peak of Bandama, at 575 m high, and the small road that leads to it. A path descends to the bottom of the crater, where one is surprised to see the isolated buildings of a still active farm. On the southern edge of the caldera, the green lawns of a renowned golf course contrast with the dryness of the crater. A superb panorama.

They are an absolute cleanliness and quite large so that you do not have to suffer from summer overpopulation.

The Picos de Europa, located between the provinces of Asturias, León and Cantabria in Spain, are an impressive mountain range. Culminating at Torre de Cerredo at an altitude of 2,649 metres, they offer breathtaking scenery. The trails are rugged, but also offer picturesque walks. It is important to note that some areas of the massif may be subject to access restrictions due to repair work or regulations to avoid built-up areas. It is therefore advisable to find out about access conditions before planning a visit. For lovers of nature and grandiose landscapes, Picos de Europa is a must-see on any trip to Spain. It's advisable to find out in advance how best to plan your visit.

This very pleasant park was built in 1919, along with the Royal Palace for Alphonse XIII. The Font del Drac (Dragon Fountain) was designed by Gaudí.

It is probably now more a theme theme park (formerly called Mini Hollywood) on the theme of cinema (with museum and reconstitution of film scenes) than a frozen decor, it also presents animals on day parole and a show of parrots.
