In Galicia dolphins are called 'golfiños'. In the Galician estuaries, one of them named Gaspar gained such local fame that it had its own page on Wikipedia, after visiting the port of Cangas do Morrazo. There is a resident population of dolphins living off the coast of Galicia, with the peculiarity that they coexist happily with humans. "We have identified about 300", explains biologist and director of the NGO Coordinadora para el Estudio dos Mamíferos Marinos (CENMA), Alfredo Lopez, "but we estimate that the total population is about 600." Identified by photos of their fins, these cetaceans of the Galician estuaries have been seen to have op

Just a few kilometres from the city of Valencia, a unique natural paradise known as La Albufera is the frame for one of the most beautiful sunsets on the Mediterranean. One of the best ways to cross its eight kilometres is by bike. The trip may seem long but, if done on a 0% incline and good rural roads, with the comfort of the mild climate of Valencia and the promise of a swim at a semi-virgin beach at the end and one of the best paellas in the world, it becomes short. The Albufera is a natural park that the Arabs called 'small sea', and were not misguided: it is a saltwater lake hardly one meter deep, connected to the sea at several points. The Arabs also introduced the most

Thousands of migratory birds from around Europe make a stop in the Tablas de Daimiel National Park. Whoever waits for their arrival is certain not to regret seeing one of the most beautiful natural shows in Europe. Amongst the best known are the purple heron, the grey heron, the black-crowned night heron, the American bittern, the red-crested pochard, the northern shoveller and the Eurasian widgeon or the northern pintail on their way to the African continent in search of good weather. If this is your case, be sure that you will see them in the Tablas de Daimiel National Park, making a break on their trip to freshen up and rest before going on. The image we have been left of La Manc

  Being an astronaut, deploying superpowers and having a tree house. There are things like these that you want as a child and the elders enjoy. “To have a treehouse….”, Emmanuel Grymonpré and Karin Van Veen, the developers of the Cabanes als arbres Hotel stood scratching their heads. And in a leafy forest in Girona, in the heart of the Montseny mountain range, they decided to make their dream come true: accommodation 100% natural high up among the leaves.   The more than ten years that Grymonpré spent as a guide in the Venezuelan forest and both of their experience in adventure parks were sufficient for the initiative to bloom. Cabane

  The serenity of Cantabria along the north coast of Spain finds its centre in the Concejo de Soba (a group of 27 villages). It all starts with a waterfall, the waterfall on the river Asón. It is here where the river flow gets carried away and becomes white waters. Upstream, the conscious peacefulness of the place is overwhelmed with historical beauty, no rushing is allowed here. The path opens up to a relaxing stroll into the past.   The waterfall, with a fall of 70 m, seems to have wanted to lift itself in order not to be unnoticed to anyone coming along the CA-265 highway. Here its waters emerge from the land after filtering in the natural lakes of the Coll
