From the Costa del Sol to the Canary Islands, there’s a reason Spain is one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. Gorgeous weather, beaches galore and vibrant culture all add to its charm. Whether you’re heading to the Balearics or exploring the mainland, a holiday in Spain will never disappoint. Miles of beaches, big-name cities, world-class theme parks – holidays to Spain give you a to-do list as long as a tapas menu. Flamenco dancers in polka dots, Moorish castles standing proud, matadors with sweat on their brows – Spain conjures up millions of different images. Holidays to mainland Spain revolve around the Costas. Up north in Catalonia, you’ll find the rugged Costa Brava and Costa Dorada. Further down the coast are the Costa Blanca’s white-sand beaches. You’ll find Spain’s Canary Islands just off the coast of Morocco, in the Atlantic Ocean. Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife are the big three, while Fuerteventura is starting to make its mark on the travel circuit.

Most Spanish holiday destinations are more than accommodating to the needs of all travellers, young and older, and within most hotels you will find welcoming, accommodating staff and dedicated pools, clubs, games rooms and dining menus for children.

One of the best things about a holiday to Spain is the food; the country is known for its unfussy but delicious dishes, and the art of sharing a bite to eat with tapas.

If you like to spend your time basking in sun, sea and sand, then look no further than Spanish holidays to the Costas, where fine weather and endless entertainment means there is always something for couples, solo travellers, families and groups of friends.

If you enjoy hot perfect sunny days the best time to visit Spain is between June and September.
