Parque de Aigüestortes, Catalonia

Enter a world of water and greenery along the Camí dels Enamorats (''Lovers' Way''), Sant Maurici, Roca de la Cremada, or the l’estany Llong, among other excursions.

Bárdenas Reales, Navarre 

In the southeast of Navarre, in the Ebro valley, lies a singular, semi-desert landscape full of whimsical, reddish shapes sculpted by water from clay and limestone. 

This bare and inhospitable landscape, reminiscent of other latitudes, featuring rough-hewn slopes, flat plateaux, deep gullies and lonely outcrops, has inspired painters and writers and served as a refuge for brigands. The redness of the sandstone produces an unparalleled spectacle at sunset.

As Catedrais Beach, Galicia 

Guarded by the covering tide and gigantic slate and shale formations is a 320 metre stretch of fine white sand. 

Near Ribadeo, the receding tide uncovers one of Galicia's grandest and most beautiful beaches. The caves and soaring Gothic buttresses of rock, perforated by the action of the waves, provide a natural spectacle in stark contrast with the pure, clear aspect of sand and sea. Don't miss this incomparable landscape.

Formentera, Balearic Islands 

Formentera is one of the last remaining paradises in the Mediterranean. You can see it in less than a day.

Hidden in its corners are sights like the "La Mola" lighthouse, perched on an impressive cliff, which Jules Verne described as ‘The Lighthouse at the End of the World’, and the Ses Illetes (''Six Islets'') beach, a prong of white sand protruding into the sea. The climate, the exquisite balance of colours and the light make this island a heavenly place to lose yourself in at any time of the year.

Las Médulas, Castilla-León 

Las Médulas were the Romans' biggest open cast gold mines in Hispania, from which a spectacular landscape emerged. 

The bright green of the chestnut trees, oaks, furze and Portuguese oak contrast with the reddish and orange-tinted colours of the earth, with its mountainous outcrops and curious sand formations that blend in beautifully with the vegetation. The combination presents a unique and magnificent tapestry.

Naranjo de Bulnes, Asturias 

The Naranjo de Bulnes, or Picu Urrielluas it is known in the Asturian dialect, is 2,519 metres high and the best known and most challenging of the Picos de Europa (''Peaks of Europe''). 

Only experienced climbers can actually reach the summit, although anyone can get quite near the majestic mountaintop. The route that starts from Sostres and the Bulnes cable car are two of the most attractive alternatives. Close by this natural wonder, little villages like Poncebos and Tielve give us a glimpse of Asturias at its most authentic.

Ordesa y Monte Perdido, Aragon 

This National Park is a rhapsody in contrasts: from the hypnotic green of the valleys to the arid extremes of the highest zones. 

The Arazas and Bellós rivers run through the green valleys from which paths lead to the higher, drier zones from which you can see a landscape of contrasts, dotted among which you can pick out the typical house of Upper Aragon, with their sandstone slab roofs, stone walls and chimneys topped with stone figures to ward off witches.

Valle del Jerte, Extremadura 

This cherry orchard becomes a paradise with the arrival of good weather and the blossoms

The landscape comprises limpid waters and extensive woods of oak and chestnut, and its corners are rounded off with examples of traditional architecture. In spring, the white mantle of cherry blossom creates the illusion of a snow-covered wood. Even more striking is when the fruit ripens and the whole turns to an intense red.
