The Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve of the Mediterranean is a unique cross-border protected area that encompasses coastal and mountain ecosystems in southern Spain and northern Morocco. Visitors can explore diverse landscapes from sandy beaches and dunes to cork oak forests and wetlands, observing migratory birds, marine life, and endemic plant species. The reserve's strategic location at the Strait of Gibraltar makes it a vital corridor for wildlife and a living laboratory for conservation. Hiking, birdwatching, and cultural visits to traditional villages offer immersive experiences in this biosphere.

- Guided walks through coastal dunes and Mediterranean scrub in the Bolonia area
