Natural Attractions in Spain
Spain is far more than beaches. Its landscapes range from lunar volcanic fields to rugged mountain ranges. On Lanzarote, Timanfaya National Park shows what the island looked like after the great eruptions of the 18th century. On Tenerife, Teide National Park surrounds the highest peak in Spain. On Mallorca, the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana offers hiking trails, stone villages and dramatic coastal roads. In Barcelona, nature meets art in Gaudí’s Park Güell. Each guide includes practical tips on tickets, trails and the best time to visit.
