Spring is just around the corner, and it's time to prepare for a getaway either in the wildest nature of Burgos or at the new car museum in Le Mans. Here are some of the most outstanding travel proposals.

Obarenes Territory: Burgos' Fjords

There is a place in the province of Burgos, between the regions of Bureba-Ebro and Las Merindades, where active tourism plans flow abundantly among via ferratas, cycling routes, canyons, griffon vultures, peregrine falcons, and breathtaking viewpoints. This is the Obarenes Territory, known as the New York of the Forests or the Burgos fjords due to the lushness of its nature, which can also be discovered aboard a boat on the Ebro as it passes through the Sobrón reservoir.

Prague National Gallery Celebrates 230 Years

The Charles Bridge and the Old Town Square are the tourist landmarks of Prague, but the Czech capital hides a secret that must be discovered on the next visit, the National Gallery, the city's largest art gallery, with unique works such as the legendary Rosary Feast by Albrecht Dürer. Founded in the late 18th century, it celebrates its 230th anniversary this year with a special program that includes thematic exhibitions dedicated to its long history, as well as displays spread across different spaces in the city.

M24, Le Mans' New Motor Museum

Everything is ready for M24 to open its doors in May, the large museum dedicated to motor sports and, in particular, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the famous endurance race held annually at the Sarthe circuit in the French town. This 8600 m² centre, whose design recalls the aerodynamics of competition prototypes, will offer an immersive journey through various disciplines of motor sports, from endurance and Formula 1 to rally, IndyCar, or CanAm.

Centenary of the Grand Hotel Miramar in Malaga

It was born as the Real Hotel Príncipe de Asturias in 1926 to place Malaga on the map of major European tourist destinations. King Alfonso XIII and his wife Victoria Eugenia sponsored the current Grand Hotel Miramar, one of the architectural, cultural, and social landmarks of the city. Hosting banquets, dances, and events, it served as a military hospital during the Civil War and as a courthouse. The hotel's splendor returned in 2016, true to its original vocation, under the management of the Santos Group.

The Grand Hotel Miramar in Malaga

In summer, the Pitiusa Island is bustling, but now is the time to discover it slowly. Municipalities like Sant Josep de sa Talaia, full of life 365 days a year, offer experiences reflecting their essence through everyday culture, nature, traditions, and Mediterranean hospitality. Active tourism enthusiasts will find over 26 beaches connected to pine forests, cliffs, and viewpoints where activities like snorkelling, kayaking, diving, beach polo are possible... On the 475-meter Sa Talaia mountain, hiking or mountain biking routes are available. Not to mention the intense cultural agenda and historical heritage represented by the Ses Portes Tower and the Phoenician archaeological remains of Sa Caleta, among others.
