Tabernas Desert

Desert Tabernas, Andalucia, Spain

What to expect

The Tabernas Desert is a unique and fascinating destination located in the south-eastern province of Almería, Spain. As the only desert in Europe, it offers a distinct climate and landscape that is characterized by badlands, arroyos, and scarce vegetation. The desert is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including the sea lavender, toadflax linaria, and several species of reptiles and amphibians. With its hot desert climate and semi-arid type, the Tabernas Desert is an interesting place to explore, and its proximity to the coast and relatively high altitude make it an ideal location for families to visit and learn about the natural environment
