Our country offers endless options to enjoy wonderful landscapes and hidden gems. Towns and cities with centuries of history, beaches, mountains, parks with great diversity, and cliffs that allow you to appreciate nature in a unique way. For all these reasons, we have created this list of places so you can plan a getaway and enjoy the summer according to the type of traveler you are.

Beach destinations

If you are someone who seeks to disconnect and enjoy walks on the beach with your partner or friends away from the hustle and bustle, you can plan a getaway to the Cíes Islands. Remember to check access as it is often limited.

Here you can observe the richness of the fauna and flora and find tranquility on the beach of Nosa Señora, which is part of the magical treasure of the Vigo estuary. If you feel like enjoying the Mediterranean, in Murcia you can enjoy Cala Las Mulas, a balm of crystal-clear water in the Calblanque Natural Park.

If you love walks and enjoy feeling the sand under your feet, Cofete Beach in Fuerteventura awaits you with 13 kilometers to stroll.

Movie postcards

Are you someone who looks for movie-like landscapes? We all have a geek friend or carry a bit of geek inside us, which is why we thought these destinations could help you plan a different summer getaway filled with memories of your favorite movies.

If you are a fan of “Indiana Jones,” “Conan the Barbarian,” or “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” your destination is Almería. This city awaits you with the perfect settings to relive movie moments that are part of your memories. On our journey through southern Spain, we can encounter great fans of Game of Thrones strolling through the mythical corners of Seville, Córdoba, and Osuna. How can we forget Plaza de España in Seville in episode II of Star Wars!

You know, the south awaits you with wonderful spots where scenes with your favorite characters were filmed.

Mountain landscapes

If it’s about landscapes and time travel, the village of Piornedo located in the Sierra de los Ancares in Lugo awaits you with a unique richness that combines history and art. In this village, you can find houses of Celtic origin, and you can also start hiking routes to enjoy with friends.
