Need a break? Short on time? Fly away to Spain! Holiday accommodation in Spain varies from high concept boutique hotels to traditional villas and holiday apartments with many offering special deals during the low season. Whether you are seeking the stimulus of city life with its clubs and concert venues or small town charm, remember to scrutinize the website of each Holiday accommodation in Spain in which you are interested and also cross-check your favourite travel review site to see how recent visitors have fared at the place you are thinking of booking.
Many people consider Barcelona as a great starting point for a mini-break, because it's easy to catch a flight, rent a car and head down the coast to Tarragona or head north to Girona. Both these ancient cities are beautiful and tourist-friendly. During the holiday season, the streets are filled with families stocking up on their favourite holiday foods such as jamon serrano, turron and marzipan. The tiny hamlet of Sitges, located south of Barcelona, is often referred to as the St. Tropez of Spain. In the off-season it is a sleepy little town with a laid-back cafe scene and beautiful beach promenade.
Valencia, located on the eastern coast of Spain, has great airport connections and is a very family-friendly getaway. There is a world-class aquarium, a zoo and a science museum, not to mention museums dedicated to Valencia's yearly Las Fallas festival in March. Serious gastronomes will not be considered to have eaten authentic paella until they have eaten paella a la Valenciana.
Seville or Malaga are the first cities that come to most people's minds when touring in southern Spain, but do not rule out a trip to Cordova. Besides the Mesquita and other notable historical sites to explore, Cordova has municipal festivals during the holiday season that include a New Year's celebration in their main plaza, where thousands of people listen to music and at the stroke of midnight eat grapes to ensure a prosperous New Year.
