Holidays in Spain

 

The people of the northern hemisphere adore Spain, its climate, food, festivals and peoples. To many holidaymakers, Spain is synonymous with 'beach holiday'. There is a growing number of tourists that has developed a strong interest in Spain and its culture and are looking beyond the sea fronts and resorts.

City breaks are increasingly popular, especially to Barcelona, Madrid and the cities of Cadiz, Malaga and Marbella on the south coast near the Straits of Gibraltar.

The sunny Spanish island hotspots of Majorca, Menorca (Balearic Islands), Ibiza and the Canary Islands are all fabulous holiday destinations. The Canary Islands are all year round holiday destination, even for beach holidays because of the permanently pleasant climate and have become a haven for the retired, especially from the UK.

The good things that Spain has to offer on holiday

It all depends on your personal tastes and interests, some of the holiday enhancing Spanish products have to be the wine, beer and Sangria. Spanish wines such as sparkling Cava (Champagne by a different name), fruity Rioja, and of course Sherry, an old favourite traditionally drunk in England with mince pies at Christmas.

Any wine buff would appreciate a tour of Spanish vineyards, sampling and buying good wines to take home and drink at leisure. There is an informative website about the wine from various regions of Spain that may just help you decide about the type of holiday you would like to have in Spain.

Renting self catering accommodation in Spanish apartments and villas provides a secure, private and comfortable place to sleep and relax between visits to vineyards and places of interest.
