The Cathedrals Beach (Galicia)
Playa de los Catedrales is located in the province of Lugo in Ribadeo. The region of Galicia, like Asturias and Cantabria, is known for its most beautiful beaches.

They are now entirely covered with chestnut and oak forests, making this nature reserve a true spectacle of the most beautiful colours in the spring and autumn months. In Roman times, the Medulas were the largest gold mines in the entire Roman Empire, but now it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Las Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park (Castilla La Mancha)
Speaking of Spain’s natural wonders, you shouldn’t miss this one. The Parque Natural de Las Laguna de Ruidera is a beautiful nature reserve full of forests and fifteen lagoons/lakes along Pinilla and Guadiana Viejo’s ancient rivers. You can also find the Montesinos caves in this natural park.
Gaztelugatxe (Basque Country)
Gaztelugatxe is a small island (it looks like a rock) located off the coast of Bermeo in the Basque Country. On this small island is situated a chapel built in the 10th century in honour of Saint John. The bridge to the little chapel is an experience in itself, and the panoramic views from this island are definitely worth it.
