✨地球上で現実を感じない場所 -世界編 Part.47
Exploring places that feel unreal or surreal offers a fascinating way to experience our planet’s diverse beauty. Having visited locations like the White Desert National Park in Egypt, Madeira Island in Portugal, and Ronda in Spain, I can say these spots truly evoke a sense of stepping outside everyday reality. The White Desert National Park in Egypt is a spectacular place where the landscape is sculpted by wind and sand into chalky, otherworldly formations. Walking amid these natural white mushroom-shaped rocks felt like I was in a dreamscape. The contrast between the intense desert heat and the stark whiteness around me was surreal. If you enjoy unique desert landscapes far from crowds, this is a must-visit. Madeira Island, on the other hand, offers lush greenery, dramatic cliffs, and coastal views that feel almost magical. The island’s subtropical climate creates colorful flora and a freshness that contrasts sharply with the arid desert vibe of Egypt’s White Desert. Hiking trails along levadas (irrigation channels) lead you through enchanting waterfalls and vibrant laurel forests—perfect for nature lovers craving peace and natural beauty. Ronda, Spain, is a charming town perched high above a deep gorge, linked by the impressive Puente Nuevo bridge. The dramatic drop into the El Tajo canyon and the old town’s historic architecture together create a picturesque scene that feels like stepping back in time or into a fantasy novel. Walking across the bridge, the views are both breathtaking and humbling. Each of these destinations offers a distinct experience of “unreal” beauty that connects you deeply with natural wonders and cultural heritage. Traveling to such places expands your perspective and lets you temporarily escape the ordinary. For anyone interested in off-the-beaten-path adventures that stir the imagination, these locations should be high on the list.
