5 mini islands in Spain for a perfect getaway
The fourth one has won us over and is the perfect plan for this summer!
1. Medes Islands
A group of unspoiled islands located 900 meters off the coast of L'Estartit (Costa Brava). The most common option is to rent a boat and stop at one of the buoys in the surrounding area.
With just goggles and a snorkel, you can marvel at the underwater world. Colorful fish of all shapes and sizes.
2. Ons Island
Located in the Pontevedra estuary, it forms a natural barrier. In the past, it was a refuge for pirates.
Perfect for relaxing and enjoying ecotourism.
Hiking, having a picnic, or enjoying the flora and fauna are must-dos in this place.
3. La Graciosa Island
One of the places in Europe where there are still no paved roads. The least known of the Canary Islands.
Golden beaches with turquoise waters. For discerning travelers who appreciate silence and secluded beaches.
4. Tabarca Island
The only inhabited island in the Valencian Community, it is located opposite the city of Alicante, eleven nautical miles away and near the Santa Pola cape.
Coves, beaches with clear waters, a fishing port to stroll and enjoy the excellent restaurant offerings.
Visit the island's museum and even stay overnight in one of its accommodations.
5. San Nicolás Island
This island halfway between Bilbao and San Sebastián is something like the Basque Koh Tao.
You can't always get there. The beach disappears when the tide comes in, and moss is swallowing up the walkway that connects the island to the village.
