Almería’s distinct Moorish architecture is accentuated by natural gems like Cabo de Gata, a wetland filled with sand dunes and saltpans that create a striking contrast to the surrounding volcanic mountains. UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Menorca’s Talaiotic culture and Antoni Gaudí’s wondrous architecture in Barcelona add another layer of exploration to this expedition.
