Ok, if you come to Spain and want to really have a relaxing time while enjoying all the beautiful views a beach town could offer you, Menorca is the place. The Menorca Wep Page is awasome, with a guide to practically every little city around, restaurants, things to do. It is one of the most complete guides I have ever seen on the internet.

Menorca is known as the windy island. It was called Menorca, the “minor” island, by the Romans, Mallorca being the mother island. The beaches that surround this little island are covered in white sand and are mostly surrounded by pine woods with rich vegetation. A great place for a great time.

Is hiking your thing? I have to admit it is not one of my favorite things to do but, when I was in Asturias last month I was inspired by the lush green vegetation and beautiful mountains. Once you are surrounded by nature you forget about the world and your beliefs and you are ready to set out on any venture (at least that is what happened to me).

There are dozens of different walking trails through mountains, and you don’t need to be a professional hiker to trek these, even kids can join in the fun. Check out Spanish trails web site , they have wonderful options with guided tours and everything you need to set off on your adventure.

This summer if you get bored of the beach do something different in Spain.

Cabo de la Gata, I just love this place, located in Almeria it is a natural park of Analusia. It is a beautiful site that has an amazing ecological wealth and forms part of the spectacular western Mediterranean.

As you can see from the picture above the edgy rocks lifting from the water are a natural part of this city that has a lot to offer. There are many little parks and beaches in this locality that you will love.
