Discovering Spain: the Best Places to Visit

There is no doubt that Spain is a very touristy country.

There are hundreds of charming and beautiful places, sites, towns, and cities in Spain to visit. Rural tourism has become fashionable in recent years, and Spain is full of charming corners and dream places, authentic jewels of nature.

There are many places to visit with that magical and special touch, which, however, are not known by everyone. In this article, we are going to see these beautiful and charming places that you may not have seen or heard of, but they are undoubtedly worth visiting.

La Corona Volcanic Tube

The La Corona volcanic tube is a kind of tunnel approximately 6 km long north of Lanzarote, Canary Islands.

Like most of the natural wonders located on these islands, its formation is due to a volcanic explosion thousands of years ago caused by the La Corona volcano, which created a volcanic tube with very peculiar characteristics.

The Cueva de Los Verdes is one of the formations found inside said volcanic tube. This cave was used as a refuge by the inhabitants of the area, in the face of continuous attacks by corsairs. It owes its name to the Verdes family, which owned the land where the cave is located.

Inside it has an auditorium and corners such as the room of the aesthetes, the throat of death, or the Moorish door.

Without a doubt, this volcanic tube deserves a place on our list of sites and places to visit in Spain.

In addition to the Cueva de Los Verdes, in the route of the volcanic tube, there is the Atlántida Tunnel, completely flooded by seawater and which was also formed naturally at 1500 meters.

In part closest to the coast of the volcanic tube, there is the famous Jameos del Agua, a kind of inland lake that makes this tunnel a place with a special charm, visited by thousands of tourists a year.

This wonder of nature is adapted to be visited by tourists.

The Chinese Wall of Finestres

If you are lucky enough to live or be on vacation in Aragon, it is essential to pay a visit to Roques de la Vila or as it is colloquially known, the Chinese Wall of Finestres.

Getting to this point is a bit complicated, especially due to the state of some of the roads, so we recommend leaving the car on the Penavera bridge and from there, walking to the Chinese wall of Aragon.

But if walking is not your thing, there is the possibility of hiring a boat excursion, which will take you around the Canelles reservoir and will bring you closer to this curious place.

Urederra River

The Urederra river is considered the shortest river in the north of the country. The source of this river is in the Natural Park called Urbansa Andía, in Navarra. In its scarce 19 km before flowing into the Ega River, people have the opportunity to enjoy a space full of landscape.

The waterfalls are some of the natural samples that visitors can enjoy, but you will also find pools and curtains of water that will leave you speechless, as well as its thick forest in which beech trees abound and which allows the life of multiple species, especially birds.

The river and the park are part of a nature reserve due to the environmental richness it possesses. This can be an ideal place for a romantic weekend getaway, and enjoy with your partner, in a fairy tale setting.

Pozalagua Cave

If you are spending a few days on vacation in the Basque Country, you may want to visit this fantastic cave. In it you will find formations of stalactites, stalagmites, and eccentrics, which create a magical environment.

This underground cavity is open to the public, so you can organize a visit during your holidays in Vizcaya.

Cove of  Sa Calobra

The cove of Sa Calobra is a beautiful beach located in Mallorca (Balearic Islands), more specifically in the municipality of Escorca. It is composed of beautiful sand and boulders.

It is surrounded by gigantic cliffs that give it a touch of mystery. Its characteristic location makes this cove the best open-air natural auditorium you will ever see. In fact, every summer the well-known “Concert de Sa Calobra” is held.

Another of the charms of the cove of Sa Calobra is the route you have to take to get there, and the paths around it, where you can get lost for hours enjoying the spectacular scenery of the area.

Undoubtedly, this cove has a special charm and it is really worth coming to spend a day there. If you come to Mallorca on vacation, do not hesitate to visit it. And if you have time to spare, you can escape one day to Menorca or Ibiza and enjoy the wonders of the Balearic Islands.

Bardenas Reales of Navarra

Las Bardenas Reales de Navarra is a natural area located in the southeast of Navarra.

This place is known for having one of the strangest and most different landscapes in the country due to the conditions of its terrain that make it look like a desert, giving the sensation of being in the scenes of a western movie.

The landscape of the Bardenas is very similar to a lunar landscape, which makes it interesting for visitors to see. It is a place so different from the ones you ever visited, that once you have been there, you will hardly be able to forget it.
