Spain Travel Guide

A holiday in Spain is a colourful and fascinating experience - from flamenco dancing to tapas and Sangria, Spaniards certainly know how to enjoy themselves. Holidaymakers can relax and soak up the sunshine on one of its beautiful sandy beaches by day, and divulge themselves in the vibrant nightlife when the sun goes down. It is also a country steeped in culture, so don't forget to explore all of the amazing sights. And why not take a day trip to Morocco while you are there? Whether you decide to book a holiday to the Spanish coast or want to try a city break to Barcelona or Madrid, Spain is a must-see destination for all ages.

Spain is an affordable holiday destination which has been attracting tourists since the birth of package holiday deals in the 1960s. And it has never lost its popularity, thanks to the heady mix of guaranteed sunshine and some of the cheapest hotels in the Mediterranean. With so many coastlines, Spain is a beach lover's paradise. The choices for a beach holiday are endless, but popular resorts include the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca, or the windsurfing paradise of Costa de Luz and Tarifa. You can also take your pick of city breaks, with Barcelona being the number one choice for many tourists. It is not difficult to see why, with so many ancient, medieval and modern sights, alongside a dazzling array of restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Spain's capital, Madrid, also has some heavy hitting credentials such as grand boulevards, lovely squares and incredible art. Or try a city break to Seville, which is one of the tapas capitals of Spain. And as it's located in the most southern region of the country, it boasts a particularly warm climate. A couple of hours by bus from Seville is Granada which is home to Spain's most celebrated building - the Moorish masterpiece that is the Alhambra. And while staying in Spain it's definitely worth booking a daytrip over to Morocco, where you can ride camels, visit the markets, and sample the local cuisine.

The most popular holidays in Spain are on the Mediterranean coast in The Costa Brava, Costa Blanca, Costa Dorada, Costa Almeria and Costa del Sol. In addition holidays to Majorca and Minorca and each of the Canary Islands: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are also all well-liked by holiday makers.
