Finding ten tourist attractions in Spain that are a little on the unusual side was not as easy as you might think. While a lot of the older traditions do seem odd they are not at the levels of weirdness I wanted for this post. But this is what I managed to come up with…

Often called “Mars on Earth” this giant opencast mine creates a surreal, almost lunar landscape. Sure it’s nothing more than tin and copper pollution, but it is amazing to look at.

Translated as “The King’s Little Pathway” this is a walk on the wild side with drops that would make your heart skip a beat and glass walkways that will test the bravest of people. If you want to do something a little more unusual while in Spain this has to be it.
