Outdoor activities and a medieval atmosphere
Forty volcanic cones and more than 20 lava casts welcome you to La Garrotxa, north of Girona. This landscape, the best example of volcanic land formation on the peninsular, is only two hours by car from Barcelona. Nature lovers will be thrilled at unforgettable experiences amongst the forests and volcanoes that typify this region.
Biosphere Reserve
In the province of Biscay, between capes Matxitxaco and Ogoño, there is a 12-kilometre stretch of sandbanks that UNESCO has declared a world Biosphere Reserve (1984), along with many other ecosystems. Holm oak forests emerge just a few metres from the aquatic vegetation, giving an idea of the richness of the environment in which this estuary is located. One of its main attractions is the diversity of birds that inhabit it. You can learn all about them in the Urdaibai Bird Centre.
National Park
The Garajonay National Park awaits you on the Canary Island of La Gomera. Cleaved through by gorges and packed with laurel forests. This pre-historic forest is responsible for the labyrinth of green that you immerse yourself in as you enter the park. A fascinating landscape that will bewitch you like a fairytale, where nature is the main feature.
National Park route in the Pyrenees
This is one of the most popular trails in the Pyrenees, as well as one of the most beautiful. With the mountains as a backdrop, the path runs through the landscape of the Ordesa Valley, crossing meadows and leafy forests to reveal spectacular waterfalls.
