Way of St JamesFor some, the pilgrimage to Santiago Cathedral is a religious experience, but many simply want to test their own limits, setting their own pace and sharing the path with other pilgrims. Whether hiking, riding a horse, or cycling, this route is an adventure for discovering the best version of yourself with every step.Baños de MontemayorIf you like tranquillity and quiet, welcome. Venture into this small town in Cáceres, famous for its thermal waters and spas. Relaxing in nature while enjoying spa treatments and massages is the ideal way to have a unique and very relaxing experience.

Spirituality and hedonism mingle here, thanks to its long-established hippie tradition, its famous nightclubs and discos, and all its leisure options. The most beautiful sunsets and dawns of the Balearic Islandsare wait ing for you in a destination packed with life.

For finding inspiration surrounded by sweeping scenery:

Lighthouses in GaliciaThe legends used to say the world ended at Finisterre (A Coruña). And an imposing lighthouse was built there to mark the way home for wandering sailors. Centuries later, lovers of the sea and of wild mountain landscapes can enjoy a magical tour of over 1,000 km of coastline of Galicia with more than 40 lighthouses punctuating the nature and history of one of Spain’s most mysterious regions.WindmillsDon Quixote not only left his mark on the famous book, but also, during his trip through Castile-La Mancha, he unwittingly created what is now called the Don Quixote Route. A path where inevitably, the windmills he mistook for giants loom large. From the municipality of Consuegra(Toledo) and up to Belmonte (Cuenca), you can follow in the footsteps of one of the world’s most famous literary characters across the plains of La Mancha.

Irati ForestOne of Europe’s largest fir and beech forests awaits you in northern Navarre. It’s a wonderful place to visit in autumn, when the leaves change colour, creating a magnificent, almost magical spectacle. Criss-crossed by streams and hiking trails, you can let your imagination fly free in the Irati Forest.

If you want to get away from it all and you need adventure:

Picos de Europa National ParkThis was Spain’s first protected park, over 100 years ago, and is now a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Between the provinces of Asturias, León and Cantabria you can wander in the mountains and follow its trails and routes, such as the Cares trail. Spend the night in one of the many mountain refuges and take your pick from the adventure sports on offer: climbing, canyoning, mountain biking, via ferrata, etc.Caminito del Rey TrailThere’s more to Málaga than just beaches. It also hides other gems like this one, a passage built into the walls of a gorge, created for those seeking thrills. This path, full of history and legends, hangs over 100 metres above the river, so a walk here is quite an adventure. Ideal for a getaway.

LanzaroteIf you really want to get away from it all, the black island makes it easy. All you have to do is switch off your mobile phone. Enjoy the contrast of its landscapes and its activities. You can plunge into nature in Timanfaya National Park, go snorkelling off Playa Chica beach, or have the beach practically to yourself on Famara beach. And if you get tired of solitude, Puerto del Carmen offers the liveliest nights on the island and is a great place to make friends. To make you feel safer when travelling solo, you have the Foreign Tourist Assistance Service in Spain (SATE) at your disposal.
