Illa Grossa in the Columbretes
To reach this earthly paradise where the singular and the only thing becomes a living population, there is nothing better than leaving from the port of Peñíscola Or from Oropesa del Mar aboard one of the boats that offer this trip to marine Eden.
These crossings are usually offered in the summer season and, specifically, the boats that will take you to the islands are: the Golondrina de Peñíscola, the Goleta de San Sebastián, the Olimpia Boat and the Super Bonanza. Also in Oropesa del Mar There are some excursions to this destination thanks to the Chatermarítimo and the Azahar Diving Center, which also provides guides for routes through the incredible seabed.
Once we have reached the destination, our point of interest is restricted to L'Illa Grossa, the only part of the archipelago that we can cover on foot, and the beautiful walk to the lighthouse. Throughout the excursion it is possible to admire the impressive row of craters that give rise to the island, large amounts of igneous materials dotted with black volcanic bombs, as well as a flora and fauna rich in native species unique in the world.
