Begin your adventure by boarding a bus in Alicante, heading towards the Pink Lake. It's not every day you get to visit a pink lake; it's a truly distinctive experience that blends science, nature and relaxation. Your first stop is at this unusual body of water.
Next, journey to the port of Santa Pola to catch a ferry to Tabarca Island, the only inhabited island in the region. During the 30-minute boat ride, make sure to take advantage of the water-level windows to spot fish swimming beneath the surface.
Once on Tabarca, take some leisure time to explore this Mediterranean Marine Reserve and its fascinating biodiversity. Discover the place that was once home to Barbary pirates and admire the ancient walls that surround it. Stroll through the small town, relax on the beach, go for a swim or dine at one of the local restaurants. In the afternoon, board the return boat back to Santa Pola to catch your bus back to Alicante. This trip offers an exciting blend of history, nature and relaxation.
