Five places that you would not believe are in Spain

Sometimes we like to think that we dominate our environment, that we know its most characteristic places, but reality often takes that thought away from us with a stroke of the pen. Our country hides amazing corners that many people have not had the pleasure of visiting. And it is that, at a time when it is a trend to travel to paradisiacal places thousands and thousands of kilometers away, to foreign historical cities or to monuments with centuries of history from other cultures, it is a good time to vindicate the secrets that the Spanish geography hides. Although visiting remote enclaves is a real pleasure and almost an obligation to discover new ways of life and open your mind, we must not forget the charms that can be found in the peninsula and its islands.
