Las Islas Columbretes
The Columbretes Islands Natural Park is located just off the coast of Castellón. The Columbretes Islands, known in antiquity as the Islas de las Serpientes (the Serpent Islands) rise defiantly out of the sea, a small archipelago of volcanic origin found halfway between the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.

Once again, the faunal importance of the islands is recognised, no matter how small they are. Humble, ugly, arid, forgotten and unknown, the Columbrettes offer the richest seabed in the Mediterranean and a small terrestrial fauna, but with many endemic species that are not found anywhere else in the world.
