Natural Parks near Elba Hotels: Discover nature at your doorstep
Exploring nature is a passion for many. This activity allows us to bond with our family members, while discovering the beautiful 131 natural parks and 15 national parks across Spain. Many of these are near Elba Hotels. Today, we are going over some of our favourites to celebrate the European Day of Parks. Are you joining us?
Gibraltar, on the doorstep of Elba Hotels
There is another country at a stone’s throw away from Andalusia – and we are not talking about Portugal; we are talking about the UK. Gibraltar, only a few kilometres away from Elba Estepona and under two hours away from Elba Costa Ballena, is the perfect getaway to get to know the British culture and traditions.
What not to miss in Gibraltar
The most well-known attraction in Gibraltar is the Rock. You can reach the top riding the funicular, on foot (not suitable for those who don’t like steps) or by car. Once there, you can enjoy the views and meet the famous macaques, who mainly frequent the area known as the Guarida de los Monos (Apes’ Den). These African apes are a tailless species, and have inhabited Gibraltar for thousands of years. And by the way – do not feed them, you will be fined!
The family that travels together stays together
Did you know that 15th May is the International Day of Families? At Elba Hotels, we are joining the celebration with plans specifically designed for all family members. We hope you enjoy your holidays!
Let’s start with the little ones. You may already know our visitors’ favourite mascot: Pepe. He loves meeting our youngest guests, and visiting them during lunchtime or at the pool. We also have fantastic animation services, as well as daily and nightly activities in all our seaside hotels, adapted to different ages and languages. They will have a fantastic time meeting other kids!
Sierra de Grazalema mountains, Cádiz
Even though most of us associate Cádiz with beautiful sandy beaches, there is a hidden gem in the northeastern region of the province, bordering Málaga.
If you love hiking and mountains, the Sierra de Grazalema, which was declared a UN Biosphere Reserve in 1977, is a must. It is located in the Cordillera Penibética, and it is the perfect sport for a nature getaway. Hikers can choose from about 20 different routes, with varying degrees of difficulty.
Hiking routes in Sierra de Grazalema
The ‘Calzada Romana’ route is about 3.5 km long, and is considered one of the easiest, as the terrain is pretty even throughout. It runs between Benaocaz and Ubrique, and it is extremely well preserved. The archaeological remains show the many peoples – Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs… – that have inhabited this area across the centuries. Each of them has left their mark, and influenced traditions and customs.
