For those looking for something different why not head for Lake Negratin (1 hour by car from arroya Medina or 10 mins from Fontanar). This is perhaps Europe’s most spectacular lake, with 32km of shoreline it has a lot to offer. Flanked on one side by towering red cliffs and on the other by pine woodland overlooked by the majestic Mount Jabalcon.

There are beach and recreation areas (including a naturist beach). Lakeside restaurants to enjoy the local cuisine whilst admiring the turquoise waters. At the far end of the lake in Zujar you can visit the thermal baths, said to have therapeutic qualities and used since Roman times.

You can swim all year round and still enjoy a constant 39 degrees. It is absolute bliss!
