British Marine Wildlife To us here in the UK, we can be pretty blasé about our own wildlife while thinking that the animals in other countries are more "exotic". So where do we find the "exotic" close to home? Well, in the sea, of course!
Seven Natural Swimming Pools in Spain We first realised the special pleasures of fresh-water swimming on Corsica, but here are seven natural pools (amongst many, many others) in Spain. Some are easy to get to and very popular. Others require a bit of a trek and reward you with near solitude.
