Here is a girl, sitting on the tree of life that's home to all of these eyes and a bird painted a calming blue.

Murcia, Spain: Estrecho de la Arboleja Hike

A beautiful and shady hike near Nonihay, Estrecho de la Arboleja is a must do for anyone looking for free things to do near Murcia. Not only is it home to some amazing rock formations, but it's also criss-crossed with old water irrigation tunnels one can crouch through and scary bridges one can inch across at their own risk. This Estrecho de la Arboleja hike is both great for the whole family to explore as it is one of the many short hikes near Murcia and for experienced hikers and canyoners as it can easily be made into a fairly difficult 10 kilometres circuit.

I love watching wildlife, especially when they're roaming free in their own natural habitats. It might take longer to find these Australian animals, especially when compared to a zoo, but if you visit the places on this list, then it's pretty much guaranteed to see them.

...swim with sharks and rays while snorkeling at Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve just an hour north of Sydney...walk out to see juvenile seals playing in the waves at Australia's only mainland seal colony on your way to the nearby petrified forest...go camping with wild kangaroos in the stunning canyons of Newnes...
