But today, in this present article, we want to offer you the most beautiful natural pools in our country. So that? Because although there are many inland cities that do not have a beach, they have nothing to envy the coast, having natural water pools as splendid as these that we are going to see here. If you want to take a good soak this summer but you don't have a nearby beach, don't worry! Perhaps these natural pools are close to you ...
Punta de Sa Pedrera (Ibiza)
Punta de Sa Pedrera in Ibiza It is the typical natural pool that is surrounded by stone paths and rock formations, in fact, it can only be accessed through a path surrounded by dunes and forest.
It is a good place to relax and the only bad point is that there is no place to place an umbrella or awning to provide shade. So if you are from Ibiza, you want to escape a bit from the crowds of the beaches and you are looking for a secluded and quieter place, this natural pool may be the ideal place.
Hells Throat (Cáceres, Extremadura)
If we did not have enough in Cáceres with the Jerte Valley, this area also reveals the area known as the Garganta de los Infierno Natural Reserve. It is characterized by its waterfalls, its 13 natural pools or pylons caused by the erosion of the rivers in the granite and its waterfalls.
So if you are in Cáceres and there are very hot days (which surely will be), you already have a place to take a good bath and cool off while enjoying a beautiful natural landscape.
Orense hot springs (Galicia)
On the banks of River Minho and along a four-kilometer circuit we can find a series of open-air hot springs. These hot springs are known as The Pozas of A Chavasqueira, Muiño das Veigas, Outariz and Burgas de Canedo. These are full of waters that spring from the interior of the earth at more than 60 degrees of temperature, so they are good even in colder seasons such as autumn and winter.
Their baths in these hot springs are good for your health as they are used to treat different skin diseases and even bone problems such as arthritis or rheumatism.
San Juan reservoir (Madrid)
This reservoir located in the province of Madrid, has nothing more and nothing less than 10 kilometers of beach. And it is that, who said that in Madrid there was no beach? It will not be a beach as such, but the San Juan reservoir is quite located both by locals in Madrid and by tourists. It is located in the municipalities of San Martín de Valdeiglesias, El Tiemblo, Cebreros and Pelayos de la Presa, specifically in the southwestern end of the Community of Madrid and southeastern Avila.
It is the only swamp where it is bathing and motor activities allowed.
Las Chorreras (Cuenca, Castile-La Mancha)
This natural pool-waterfall in Cuenca is undoubtedly another world. There are rapids, gorges and waterfalls that end in small pools or natural pools of turquoise waters along some 300 meters in the course of the Cabriel river.
