Suggestions for Off-the-Beaten-Path Spots in Spain?

Hallo…

We’re heading to Spain in mid-June for 10 days, and after dealing with the summer crowds in Italy, I’ve realized I’m not really into big crowds.
Are there any spots in Spain where we can dodge the tourist madness in June? Or is that just wishful thinking? I know Spain is a hot spot, but I’d love to check out places that feel more chill and less touristy.
I’m totally fine with skipping some of the big attractions if it means having a more authentic experience. Oh, and just so you know, we speak fluent Spanish!

Cabo de Gata Natural Park is a picturesque natural park in Almería that has hidden coves, volcanic rock formations, and beautiful beaches. It’s ideal for hiking, snorkeling, and taking in the pristine environment

One of the biggest protected areas in Spain is Cazorla Natural Park, which is situated near Jaén. For those who :stuck_out_tongue:enjoy the great outdoors, it has hiking paths, waterfalls, and a variety of species.

Spain’s :fearful: largest glacial lake is located in this park, which is part of the province of Zamora. It’s a peaceful location for hiking, kayaking, and taking in the peace of nature.
