Castilian Plateau
The vast, high-altitude plains of northern Spain characterized by golden fields and ancient fortified towns.

Languedoc Coast
The sweeping curve of the French Mediterranean coastline, featuring numerous lagoons and sandy beaches.
Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt pans and marshes of the Rhone delta, famous for pink flamingos and wild white horses.
