Can you imagine listening to a classical music concert in some underground caves with more than 5,000 years of history? You can enjoy this experience in the Drach Caves in Manacor. These are four interconnected caves, in which you can see thousands of different shapes created by enormous stalactites and stalagmites.
You’ll get a better view of the night sky in La Palma than almost anywhere else on earth. The island’s geographical situation and meteorological characteristics make this one of the best places for stargazing.
You’ll find up to thirteen natural vantage points around the island in the Network of Astronomical Viewpoints. And in the Caldera de Taburiente National Park in the centre of La Palma, you’ll find a spectacular cirque like a cauldron with a diameter of 8 kilometres, and a difference in altitude of almost 2,000 metres.
When you visit the Timanfaya National Park you’ll feel like you’ve travelled to the moon. You’ll find out why it’s the second most visited park in Spain. Formed by 25 active volcanoes, the eruptions that took place in the 18th and 19th centuries gave rise to numerous geomorphological structures that will remind you of the moon’s surface.
Formentera is home to the largest posidonia oceanica meadow in the Mediterranean. You can marvel at the beauty of the island’s transparent turquoise waters, whose colour is due to the presence of this native Mediterranean plant. It can be seen on beaches like Ses Illetes, Levante, Migjorn, Caló des Mort and Es Trucadors.
At the headwaters of the Irati River, between the Aezkoa and Salazar valleys, stands the Irati forest formed by over 17,000 hectares of beech and fir trees. On your visit you’ll see one of the largest, environmentally richest and best preserved forests in Europe.
The Basque Coast Geopark covers the area between the Bay of Biscay and the Basque mountains, and the towns of Mutriku, Deba and Zumaia. It has 13 kilometres of cliffs with over 60 million years of history. You can walk along the top of them or admire them from a boat. Or best of all, both.
Enjoy nature, gastronomy and relaxation while you practise yoga outdoors in beautiful natural spaces. The best seasons to do so are spring and summer. In almost all Spanish regions you’ll find “retreats” offering activities to do
with yoga.
