3. The Hidden Pink Pool of Torrevieja, Spain
Located in a lesser-known part of Spain's Costa Blanca, the Hidden Pink Pool of Torrevieja is one of Europe's most extraordinary natural phenomena. While the larger Las Salinas de Torrevieja attracts some visitors, this smaller, secluded pool remains largely unknown. The pool's vibrant pink hue comes from halobacterium and Dunaliella salina algae, which thrive in its highly saline environment. Surrounding crystallized salt formations create natural pathways for visitors to explore the pool from different angles. Strict environmental regulations protect the area, requiring visitors to obtain special permits and follow specific guidelines to preserve its delicate ecosystem. The pool's remote location, accessible only via unmarked trails, has helped maintain its pristine condition and secluded charm.
