Less crowding:

This type of tourism is often unconventional. Normally, visits to such marvellous and, at the same time, unknown natural environments, provide the positive value that not everyone knows about these destinations. In addition, Extremadura is a place par excellence of this description.

The best places in Extremadura are usually known only to locals or a lucky few. You won't find coastlines full of bathers crowded on the beaches, or beach bars with huge terraces... This kind of getaway will allow you to clear your head and refresh your ideas.

Less planning and less cost:

Normally, the areas for this type of bathing are neither so far away nor so sought after. Reservoirs, marshes, pools, rivers... With such a wide variety, there is always a better chance of finding a wonderful place.

If you opt for Extremadura, you'll be surprised by all the things you can choose from. And you won't need many weeks to organise it either: a few days may even be enough. These beautiful places will always give you plenty of options to choose from.

Really pure water without sand:

Taking a dip doesn't have to mean getting your feet full of sand. The quality of the fresh water you find in places like Extremadura is splendid. They do not require chemical products to maintain their purity, as they are usually flowing and in constant movement. Not to mention the temperature: if you are looking for a refreshing experience, this is the ideal one!

Escapades of outdoors and adventure:

In many cases, in order to reach destinations that are quite unknown but which are truly marvellous, it is necessary to walk a little way to find the desired place. For this reason, visiting a natural swimming pool can be a perfect day's hiking as a prelude to bathing.

There are also places prepared for practicing certain water sports. Did you know that in Extremadura, in the Alange reservoir, you can practice from paddleboard even boat trips?
