We\u2019re in the home straight of spring. There\u2019s just a month to go before summer and we can no longer hide our longing for sun and a good splash<\/strong>. Tranquillity is also important, which is why we propose a less crowded destination so that you can enjoy landscapes, such as lakes, in the very heart of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Surrounded by mountains, valleys and rural scenery where animals roam freely is the perfect plan. Timo, Arturo, Frida and Agnese know this well enough. They\u2019ve taught us how to enjoy an evening of games on the banks of Lake Garda<\/strong>. Will you join us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pink Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pink Lake will surprise you with its water that sometimes touches on shades close to fuchsia. This natural phenomenon is due to the interaction of the sun\u2019s light with certain bacteria that live in the water as well as the layer of rose pink clay in the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lakes of Covadonga<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the Picos de Europa National Park, we have three glacial lakes: Enol, La Ercina and El Bricial located at an altitude above 1,000 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lake Carucedo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lake is in Las M\u00e9dulas where you will find the remains of an open-pit gold mine from Roman times. The intense red colour of the soil contrasts with the green of the landscape and is more like a vista of a different planet altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lake Sanabria<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the largest lake of glacial origins in Spain and one of the biggest in Europe, nothing less than 369 hectares in a surface area with a width of 1.5 kilometres, a length of 3 and a depth of 53 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Banyoles Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the biggest lake in Catalonia and is located in Girona. Legend has it that the Banyoles dragon lives in it, though nobody has seen it. Will you go looking for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Black Lagoon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet another lagoon with a legend, it is said that its waters are black because its depth is unknown and a monster lives within it. It is of glacial origin and surrounded by the cliff faces of the Urbi\u00f3n in the Black Lagoon Natural Park in Soria. Will you dare take on the monster?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Gallocanta Lagoon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the biggest natural saline lagoons of Spain and Europe. It has an opening to the sea and has formed with groundwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Stone Fountain Lagoon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the biggest lagoon in Andalusia with a width of 6.5 kilometres and a length of 2.5. Here you can see the biggest colony of flamingos in the peninsula. It\u2019s a wonder to contemplate the pink mantle with which these birds cover the lagoon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

San Mauricio Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aig\u00fcestortes National Park in Lleida, Catalonia, is where this lake of glacial origin is to be found. It is one of the better known and most magnificent lakes because of its breathtaking views of the Pyrenees. Don\u2019t forget your camera, it\u2019s sensational!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Green Lagoon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This most unusual of all lagoons in Spain is in the island of Lanzarote. It has an intense green colour that comes from the sulphur contained in its waters inside the crater of a volcano and alongside a beautiful black sand beach. It is an unforgettable landscape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
