Spain is one of Europe's best travel treasures as a huge portion of the country is able to receive sun for around 300 days a year. It’s Mediterranean climate means the summers are hot and dry and the winters are mild making any time or season a perfect time to visit Spain! Here are three very different parts of Spain that all offer the same warm weather, but vary in what attracts people to them. Where ever you go, make sure you pack your sunglasses, sun cream and sun hat!
Barcelona is Spain's second largest city and as a result, a very popular tourist destination, It’s actually the 4th most visited city in Europe. Barcelona contains both the highest concentration of Gothic architecture in the whole of Europe thanks to buildings such as the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia, and more avant garde buildings built with a more modern design. With plenty of divine culinary delights to choose from, you’ll never go hungry in Barcelona. With its numerous fresh food markets and local street food delights dotted throughout the city, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
The island of Ibiza is well-known for its wild party lifestyle, and throughout the summer you will never be short of a party to join. Thousands visit the island each year to enjoy the sun and sea, from across Europe and also further afield. Some of the world’s biggest and best DJ’s flock to this area to play in the top clubs. But these big DJ’s come at a price. It’s not uncommon to pay 40 Euro to get into some of these places.
Located on the Southern coast of Spain you’ll find Malaga, right at the heart of the popular Costa del Sol. Malaga is the southernmost larger municipality in Europe, and has one of the mildest winters around meaning if you head in the winter month, you can actually enjoy a enjoying a subtropical climate. Malaga has become synonymous with package holidays but there are areas that are seen as much more exclusive. Marbella has become an international reference for luxurious escapes and has the designer shops and fancy restaurants to keep everyone entertained.
Here are just a few of the different types of holidays that Spain has to offer but there are plenty more and I look forward to writing about them!
