Highest peak in Tenerife

Correct! El Teide, the third highest volcano in the world, gives its name to this national park where the landscapes seem to have been taken from another planet and which can be driven around by car. Take the cable car up to the top to get the full experience and take in the unique views.

10In which Spanish National Park is the Iberian lynx, the most endangered feline on the planet, found?
Iberian lynx

Correct! Doñana, which stretches across the provinces of Huelva, Seville and Cadiz, is home to this beautiful animal. What is even better is that you can also spot the imperial eagle here as well as landscapes that include Mediterranean forests, marshlands, moving dunes and spectacular beaches. Two original ways to explore it are on a guided all-terrain route or aboard a boat on the Guadalquivir River.

Bardenas Reales
Monegros desert
Tabernas desert

Aigüestortes, Caldes region
Torcal de Antequera Nature Area

10To get onto this small islet with its shrine you need to climb up 241 stairs. Where is it?
241-stair shrine

Correct! It is one of the most beautiful places on the Basque Coast. The climb is well worth the effort. And if you're up for it, as the tradition goes, you need to touch the shrine’s bell three times and make a wish.

10This is the Caminito del Rey, a series of walkways pinned along a cliff which goes down 700m. But, why is it famous?
Caminito del Rey, Málaga

Correct! Although it was known as one of the most dangerous paths in the world, it has been completely remodelled, with its walkways and 105-metre-high hanging bridge providing one of the most spectacular places for hikers in Andalusia.

10More than a million cherry trees blossom in this region between the end of March and early April. We are referring to...
Couple among blossoming cherry trees

Correct! This is the Jerte Valley, in Extremadura. This is the time of year when the mountains turn white and it is well worth travelling around the villages of Valdastillas, Piornal, Barrado, Cabrero, Casas del Castañar, El Torno and Rebollar. This is one of the most spectacular displays of blossom in Spain.

10In which Natural Park can you find “sculptures” in the middle of nature such as the white tail of a mermaid or a giant cage?
Forest with a sculpture of the mermaid’s tale

Correct! You will find the Batuecas Natural Park in Salamanca (Castilla y León). There are interesting routes around it such as the Camino del Agua which passes by sculptures hidden in the heart of nature as if it were telling a story.

Correct! This landscape in Asturias, located in the Picos de Europa National Park, amazes travelers. We recommend going to the Mirador de la Reina to get an incredible panoramic view of the Cangas de Onís area.
