Spain is a country of great geographical diversity, with thousands of kilometres of coastline stretching between the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. From the warm southern latitudes to the cliffs of the north, its territory offers a wide variety of landscapes.

Along the Spanish coast – particularly in the Canary Islands – there are beaches where the sand takes on a striking black colour instead of the usual golden tones. This distinctive feature is the result of volcanic processes that have shaped the landscape over thousands and even millions of years.

Spain is often associated with beaches and green mountains – but it is also a land of volcanoes. The country is home to dozens of craters, calderas and volcanic cones that can now be explored on foot.
