A touristic dip in the geological curiosities of Europe’s natural attractions
Our current journey of exploratory adventures takes place on the exciting European continent, the Mediterranean surroundings and the Moroccan Sahara. The contemplation of the natural, historical and architectural charms of the Old World encourage the production of new illustrated texts that address ecotourism secrets, geological and historical curiosities.
Through the prism of scientific tourism, this journey has as main objectives the generation of authentic articles with images of landscapes for publication in our blog, to be briefly compiled in a didactic e-book, emphasizing geological diversity, conservation of natural resources and geotourism.
The starting point of the observations is the cultural capital of Flamenco – Sevilla, in the mystical region of Andalusia – Spain, epicenter of one of the traditional and longest itinerary of the esoteric Camino de Santiago de Compostela – Via la Plata.
This region, with its peculiar climate, is strategically close to: the Mediterranean and the Strait of Gibraltar, the large orogenetic massifs and peaks – the Alps, the Pyrenees and the Atlas, the stunning Geoparks, as well as, near the Moroccan Sahara and Taberna Desert, and connection to the Arab world.
The main texts and articles, mixed with stimulating photographic fillings, will cover the following topics:
