Spain has always been a favourite holiday destination and this dates back to the time when passenger flights became more affordable and well as available. There are so many fantastic locations to choose from within the Spanish mainland and reaching out to the many islands.

Whether you are looking for a two week relaxing holiday in the sun there are resort towns in abundance, Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Marbella to name a few. But if it’s a mini break or a weekend getaway you are after you can choose from some of the amazing cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao or Granada. You have the choice to go skiing down the slopes of the Sierra Nevada, hiking in the Pyrenees or enjoy the folkloric cultural experience such as Flamenco in Seville and the bullfights of Pamplona. Camping is also another option and you will find some of the best campsites in Europe dotted in and around the Spanish regions.

Although the currency of Spain is now the Euro you can still get a pretty good run for your money as the cost of eating out is still far cheaper than in the UK. Restaurants and bars are in abundance since Spain is a social culture when family and conversation matter. Despite the language barrier you will find that English is widely spoken especially along the coastal areas. Tourism is the largest business in Spain and the Spanish aim to please.

These days booking a holiday to Spain couldn’t be easier and there are hundreds of travel sites online offering some great deals. You can book your holiday requirements altogether from the same site or shop around to get either accommodation or flights at a cheaper rate. All in all travelling to Spain doesn’t have to be expensive but the option is there however if you choose to go 5 star.
