La Manga boasts a number of stunning beaches for both sunbathers and water sport enthusiasts. The best known of these are Playa de San Javier, Playa Paraiso, Playa La Manga, Veneziola, and Playa de Callblanque, which is also the starting point for a hiking trail.

Just north of Santa Maria lies this small but beautiful and well-cared-for botanical garden and zoo, where you can admire the rugged beauty of the islands. Every type of ornamental plant that can be found on the archipelago is on display here, as well as some animals, including bunnies, donkeys, and guinea pigs.

Located at the entrance to the Old City, near the Jaffa Gate, the old citadel (popularly known as the Tower of David) offers a great way to begin your visit to Jerusalem. From the top, you can admire the panoramic view of the surrounding area. To delve deeper into the city's history, visit the Museum of the History of Jerusalem, situated inside the fortress, or catch the Night Spectacular show, which combines entertainment and education. Built by Herod the Great, the citadel is thought to be the place where Jesus's death sentence was pronounced. It later served as a hub for the Crusaders and the Ottomans and was restored several times.

During Roman times the Cardo was Jerusalem's main street, and it must have been quite a view: lined by columns that linked as roofed arcades above pedestrians, it was 22 meters wide and teemed with carriages and cattle. The street has been rediscovered and partially restored by archaeologists in 1975. While walking, you'll see the wall remains of the First and Second Temple, columns, and typical stone brick pavements. In the north, there is an authentic bazaar which dates back to the Crusades era.
