Tazones and Lastres are two very pretty fishing villages a half hour's drive apart.

Tazones has a lovely walk from behind the lighthouse up though woods to the cliffs and views out over the sea.

Lastres is less commercialized and you can eat wonderful fresh fish at a restaurant at the harbour called "El Puerto".

The Liébana area of the Picos de Europa is one of western Europe's last natural Edens and refuge of the wolf and Cantabrian brown bear. Cork oak forest and vines make clear a Mediterranean climate, but the cable car at from Fuente Dé takes you 800 metres up to spectacular Alpine scenery and great hiking.
Afterwards, on the way back to Potes from Fuente Dé, hungry walkers can satisfy body and soul at the Restaurante del Oso in Coslaya. The portions are huge and the local beef and vegetable stew ("cocido lebaniego") is simply wonderful.

Fuente Dé is reached from Potes, the toruism hub for the Picos de Europa in Cantabria.

One of the best self-guided trekking areas in Spain. A place of extinguished volcanoes amongst thick forests, unusually green all year round despite the Mediterranean sun. After exploring Vall d'en Bas valley, eat one of the best meals of your life in Restaurant Arnau, Granollers de Rocacorba, and swim in the pool afterwards.

Half an hour north-west from Girona. Read about Girona town and province:

An old mountain world impervious to (or unaware of) the heady modern culture that characterizes the rest of Spain. Well-kept whitewashed villages stuck to the mountainside. Wholesome food, peace and quiet, fabulous for walking holidays, free tapas, good rental cottages, friendly and easy-going.

By hire car or bus from Granada or Malaga Airport. Most popular villages: Capileira, Bubión. Introductory guide to La Alpujarra in www.rusticaltravel.com

For nearly 20 years, Paco the painter from Madrid has been patiently daubing faithful images of the quaint villages and mountain scenes of the high Alpujarra in Granada. The long-haired maestro emerges from a cloud of smoke in his studio to welcome you with a grand smile to his shop and art gallery in Capileira. It is filled with oil paintings and watercolours by him and other artist residents of this special mountain community.

Between two bars with terraces on the main square, Capileira, Granada. More on this area with picture of the village at: www.rusticaltravel.com/index.php/Alpujarras-Guide.html
