Four nature reserves in Andalusia to go hiking with the family.
When you go on holiday with the family, there's nothing better than being surrounded by nature as you walk along the routes and trails of the Andalusian nature reserves. You'll find inner peace! Discover all types of trees and plants. Watch waterfowl very closely or simply go for a walk in one of the beautiful spots.
You can choose the route you'd like to discover: there are many available! A highly recommended plan is to collect acorns and enjoy the park's quintessential tree: the cork oak. The little ones with love to observe its reddish trunk and discover where cork comes from.
Cabo de Gata-Níjar Nature Reserve, Almería
Travel back in time, up to 13 million years ago, and walk through the most important volcanic massif of the Iberian Peninsula: Sierra del Cabo de Gata. A route between volcanoes ideal to do as a family – discover Arrecife de las Sirenas (Mermaid Reef) and the rocky outcrops of Punta Baja.
Lagunas de Zóñar Nature Reserve, Rincón and Tíscar, Cordoba
You can follow simple, easily accessible trails, and find interesting riverside trees that grow near Rincón Lake. You'll find that it is a paradise for many birds and you will recognise many types of ducks or mallards, stilts, small long-billed black-legged storks, as well as flamingos.
Hop on the mini-train and enjoy the inside of the restricted area of these marshes, designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. A fun and comfortable way of discovering the beauty and biodiversity of these landscapes and spotting countless varieties of birds.
