Embrace the cultures and traditions that made Spain such an attractive holiday destination and ditch the nightclubs and full breakfasts of stereotypical Spanish beach holidays.
The ideal place to experience the culture that entices millions of people every year is Costa Brava Hotels. Nestled between the rocky cliffs and mixed-material beaches of northeast Spain is the Costa Brava, or “rugged coast” – full of villas and signs of luxury, but also cobblestoned streets and well-preserved medieval ruins from as far back as the thirteenth century. For a fresh and flavoursome dining experience the area around the Tossa de Mar is a great spot as it is home to the local fishing industry. Rent a car to discover quaint coastal cities, or explore Girona, which bursts with the Romanticism of a city that is based around a canal.
Artist Cesar Manrique, who helped to seal the island’s reputation as a beauty spot, was born in Lanzarote. With dozens of hidden ancient ruins and lava-forged sights, Lanzarote is the Spanish jewel of the Canary Islands. The Timanfaya National Park is an immaculately preserved volcanic landscape that draws millions of tourists to the island every year, along with the Cueva de los Verdes – a maze of tunnels and caverns formed by a subterranean river of lava. Backing on to Lanzarote hotels is a bustling seaside with spectacular coastlines, admist these cultural treasures. Those after a slower pace can siesta on the shores by day and enjoy fine dining by night (be adventurous when choosing which local “mojo” – or sauce” – to order with your meal!).
As eight million tourists visit the resort town every year for its electric indigenous atmosphere, its is no wonder that hotels in Majorca fill up so quickly. It is ideal for those who want an eclectic experience, as it is only two hours from the UK. Old relics sit alongside shops, cafes, and bars, and public transport runs into the early hours. The area boasts flea markets, hiking expeditions and over 2500 restaurants serving everything from homemade paellas to authentic sangria, as well as hosting a yearly Jazz festival at Cala d’Or.
