The Columbretes Islands, an isolated archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea just 30 miles off the coast of Spain’s Valencian Community, are well worth a visit. The islands were known in ancient times for their abundant snake population, as well as for being a favored refuge for Berber pirates. Islas Columbretes is an educational journey through this natural area that, despite its proximity to Spain’s famed Valencian coast, has a lot of new experiences to offer.
