One of Barcelona's most beautiful churches is probably the best existing example of Catalonian Gothic, with a cleaner style than what is normally associated with Gothic architecture. Construction of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar began in 1329 and finished in 1383, a record time considering this type of construction. The church has an incredible feeling of spaciousness and weightlessness emphasized by slender pillars and very sparsely decorated chapels. Three naves of the same height, supported by very tall pillars, are the main features of the structure. The splendid rose window on the main façade allows for the illumination of the church together with the beautiful stained glass windows.

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Larnaca Salt Lake, a complex network of four salt lakes located just west of Larnaca city. As the second largest salt lake in Cyprus, it spans a total area of 2.2 square kilometres and is considered an important wetland, holding the status of a Special Protected Area. During winter months, the lake fills with water, providing a temporary home for numerous migrating bird species, including thousands of vibrant pink flamingos. These elegant birds can be seen feeding on the brine shrimp Artemia Salina, a crucial element of the lake's food chain. As summer arrives, the water evaporates, leaving a crust of salt and a striking landscape. In the past, salt harvested from Larnaca Salt Lake was one of Cyprus' major exports. A 4 km-long nature trail winds through the area, offering an opportunity to explore the lake's surroundings and observe the diverse flora and fauna. Larnaca Salt Lake is not only a stunning natural attraction but also a site with a rich history dating back to the Late Bronze Age.
