Every year more tourists choose to enjoy and care for nature during their getaways. The growth in popularity of tourism in natural landscapes has increased enormously, to the point of positioning it as one of the most in-demand offers, especially during the winter months. But...
What is Ecotourism?
Ecotourism, or ecological tourism, is a tourist activity that is carried out without altering the balance of the environment and avoiding damage to nature. It is a trend that seeks to make the tourism industry compatible with ecology.
The demand for ecological tourism has increased as a result of the increase in environmental awareness, but also due to its lower economic cost and the learning about cultures offered by this type of tourism.

Why go to Andalusia this October?
Andalusia is much more than flamenco and fried fish, much more than sun and beach tourism and, of course, much more than a destination to visit only when you are tempted to take a dip in the suffocating heat. On top of the great variety of charming villages with Andalusian tradition, you also have one of the most exported national cuisines and produce that supplies a big part of the country, thanks to the high quality of the products.

In addition, it is known as "the Canary beach" thanks to its majestic virgin beaches.
Fuerteventura, paradise even in October
The low light pollution has made it a recipient of the Starlight Reserve title and is a space for rest. With its volcanic terrain, the island offers a wide range of activities for everyone, including sports. Various centres offer aquatic classes, and you can learn to play golf at Fuerteventura Golf.

We’ll tell you the best plans for enjoying autumn’s arrival: taking care of your body and mind, sport, and Elba Hotels’ top destinations.
The summer is mere hours away from its end. The autumn equinox will leave behind the days of sun and sand, as well as the dreadful heat that we so often complain about…and that we’ll dearly miss once September is in full swing.
Autumn is about to begin and, although some Spanish destinations still offer sun and sand, the good weather has given way to lower temperatures, shorter days and better conditions for sport, family trips, and even good deals on accommodation. Are you ready to plan your autumn getaway?
You can decide what kind of autumn you want
A sporty autumn? The climate conditions are perfect in September and October for playing golf, as long as the rain holds out for the last months of the season. You won’t need to get up so early anymore to avoid the hottest time of day. On the other hand, for those who love running, big cities are once again a possibility and beaches are once again accessible, without the excess of beachgoers.
