The end of summer is approaching and many people no longer have holidays to enjoy the sun, the mountains, the beach and numerous plans that can be carried out in any municipality, but there is still time to organize a small getaway or cultural activities that help us feel that we are still in a moment of rest and relaxation that we can use to escape from the routine . In order to make it easier for you, throughout this article we are going to propose plans for the last weekend of August . Surely more than one fits your tastes and those of those around you.
Plans for the last weekend of August
It is not easy to make plans for the last weekend of August . There are so many that can be carried out that sometimes the burden of deciding one or the other ends with our patience and we decide to park that objective of disconnection that we had set for ourselves. For this reason, we are going to summarize some different and very attractive ones so that you can choose the one that best suits your possibilities.
Walk the Caminito del Rey
In Malaga, we can find a spectacular path located on the wall of the Gaitanes gorge: the Caminito del Rey . It was built at the beginning of the 20th century and it stands out not only for the views that everything that surrounds it offers, but also for the height at which it is located, specifically, 100 meters. Not all are capable of making their journey, as it is designed for the bravest . Likewise, it is located on a water channel and its width measures just over a meter, therefore, it is impossible to escape from vertigo.
The sensations that one feels when floating in the air are indescribable. Few routes can convey what this place does. Without a doubt, it is worth taking a risk, facing fear and daring to open those gifts that nature offers.
The tour
The Caminito del Rey is made up of two parts . On one side are the walkways and on the other the entrances. The first ones boast a distance of 2.9 kilometers and the accesses of 4.8. The route runs in a single direction , from the North to the South, that is, from Ardales to El Chorro. The average duration is between three and four hours .
Descent of the Sella by canoe
The descent of the Sella by canoe is another of the plans that you can carry out during the last weekend of August . It is an unforgettable experience that will invite you to travel the fifteen-kilometer journey that separates Arriondas and Llovio. Both municipalities are very close to Ribadesella . It hardly has any difficulty, but we must never forget that we are going to navigate a river.
You can live this adventure alone, with a partner or with two companions . It does not matter that it is the first time you handle a canoe, the mechanism is simple and you will get used to it from the first minutes. For those who think that fifteen kilometers is a lot, tourism companies have adapted other routes so that they only reach seven or ten kilometers .
Balloon ride over Valladolid
Have you ever dreamed of having wings to fly ? There are companies that are dedicated to fulfilling this dream through a balloon. You will have the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful city like Valladolid as if you were a bird. You will witness the Pisuerga river, the Plaza Mayor, the cathedral, the church of San Pablo, the Campo Grande, the majestic Paseo Zorrilla and many corners that make this town such a special place.
The magic is multiplied taking into account that the trip begins at dawn , at the moment in which the greatest atmospheric stability develops. As the sun rises, you will notice how you climb the first meters in height until you feel completely free. Also, at the end, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a country lunch and toast with cava for having fulfilled an unforgettable dream.
Visit museums in Madrid
If cultural activities are your thing, travel to the capital of Spain for a weekend and get closer to all its treasures. It is an ideal plan for all types of public. No matter what your interests are, we are sure that you will find that place that welcomes objects or experiences that will surprise you from the first step.
Are you passionate about science and technology? Are you an unconditional fan of La Casa de Papel and want to know the National Currency and Stamp Factory inside? Or maybe you bet more to see your idols turned into real wax statues. You will discover all of the above and much more in the same city, in Madrid . After the experience, you will feel that you have traveled for days through different countries and through different times, learning in each of them a type of art, a philosophy and a kind of life that have disappeared over time.
The gardens of Barcelona
It may seem confusing, but there are those who want to enjoy the pure air, the leaves of the trees, the green color of the plants and crystal clear waters without leaving the big city. And although it may seem strange, Barcelona has many gardens inside that fulfill the dreams of these demanding adventurers. In this way, for example, the Historical Botanical Garden welcomes natural elements that spread wildly along its route; even trees grow out of the sun. On the other hand, there are the Joan Maragall Gardens . In them you can see various sculptures, a fountain that seems to emanate magic, a bamboo forest and, from the top, it is possible to enjoy the views of this impressive city.
Likewise, you will also have the opportunity to visit the Mercè Rodoreda Gardens, the Martí-Codolar Farm and the Palau de les Heures Gardens . Each of them has its charm, its history and those elements that make them unique throughout the planet.
