Tourist Attractions(旅游名胜)

1.Tourist Attractions( 旅游名胜)

Spain is the fourth largest country in Europe,and has a diverse landscape and,as a result,is often called“a miniature continent”.Many indigenous and endemic species owe their current situation to the existence of protected areas with which they try to avoid their decline or extinction.To date,Spain has a total of 15 national parks,of which 10 are on the mainland,1 in the Balearic Islands and 4 in the Canary Islands.Spain's most visited national park is the Teide National Park in the Canary Islands and crowned with the third largest Volcano in the world from its base,the Teide,with 3718 meters above the sea level(also the highest point in Spain).The Teide also has the distinction of being the most visited national park in Europe and second in the world.

The mild climate during the whole year and the extensive sandy beaches of the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean as well as of its two archipelagoes(the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands respectively)have been attracting tourists from Northern Europe for decades.The most popular Spanish mainland coasts are on its Mediterranean side.Spain's two archipelagoes,the Balearic Islands off the mainland coast in the Mediterranean and the volcanic Canary Islands in the Atlantic,are both very popular destinations with Spaniards and Europeans.
