Cueva del Agua (Iznalloz)

“Cueva del Agua” is a natural wonder located at a height of 1,730 meters above the sea, in the peak of Sierra Harana, in Iznalloz (Granada). It was open to the tourists in 1960.

This cave is a huge net of subterranean galeries without a fixed direction, as the whole cave is a fault. The ground is covered by grinded dolomites, and there were discovered stalagmitic tubes. Since the 60s we can enjoy its mind-boggling rooms such us the Music Hall and the Glaciar Lagoon.

In short, it is a beautiful place full of nature, which contributes to eco-tourism. It is very unknown considering how astonishing it is, so you can’t lose the opportunity to visit this amazing natural area!

Ruta del Gollizno (Moclín-Olivares)

Gollizno's Route is an eco-friendly trecking route at the region of Montes Orientales (Andalusia). This old path which connected several villages among them is a way to go through the History of the area, and a highlighted spot for tourists all across the country.

To begin with, the astonishing nature that surrounds the route is compound of many different botanical species, wild animals and types of rocks, so it has a biological and geological value. Along it you can find view points to admire the beauty of the valley, the river and the rear view of Moclin's castle. At the very beginning, after having gone across the forest, there is a stone wall with prehistorical paintings. Descending a staircase you can have a fresh break at the Corcuela fountain, which brings cool water and gather tourists and locals for a snack. Keep alert, you may see a mountain got any time! If you follow the path it will take you down to the "throat" of the river through the carved walls of the mountain. The route continues by the shore of the river, full of vegetation, until it reaches one of the main attractions: a suspension bridge to cross the river. In the final stretch there are several natural fountains of fresh water, viewpoints and fruit trees. Finally you will arrive to Olivares, where you can enjoy the best food of the region.

Buonconsiglio Castle: opinion essay

On our first day in Trento we took a walk along that beautiful city. The visit had its last stop in the Buonconsiglio Castle. This monument, which was built in the 13^th century, was the residence of the Prince-Bishops of Trento for nearly six centuries and that's why it's full of history.

The Buonconsiglio Castle is the largest and most important monumental complex of the Trentino Alto Adige region.  One of the places we liked the most was the upper part, a gothic balcony made by a series of columns and arches from where we took a lot of beautiful pictures. Downstairs there was a nice garden with a fountain and plenty of gorgeous frescos that impressed us.

Despite the fact that we spent a short time there, it was enough to learn a bit more about this beautiful city. As we see it, it was one of the most enjoyable visits because they didn't focuse the visit on giving a lot of information but on a visual and interactive learning.

From our point of view, this monument is one of the most interesting and beautiful to visit in Trento. No one should miss the oportunity to visit the castle at least once in their lives.
