A pink lake with pink flamingos. It can only be David Attenborough’s Calpol infused dreams…

Well, guess again. This flamingo-y wonder is only a hop, skip and jump away in Spain.

The pink water at Las Salinas de Torrevieja looks good enough to slurp - tastes like strawberry milkshake right?

Nope. It tastes of salt.

The rare algae that make it this highlighter pink colour are meant to cure skin lurgies, while the salt lets you float à la Dead Sea.

Las Salinas de Torrevieja is an hour’s drive from Alicante and it's freeeeeeeee.
