Spain is becoming the destination of choice for holiday makers the world over. Where as before the South of France was the premier location for second homes and quiet sunny getaways, now Spain is enjoying international attention as the new chic location for summer holidays. With so much to do in Spain, it's easy to see why. It has all the beautiful climate of France, an interesting and varied local cuisine and a fascinating history - without the same price tag. A holiday to Spain can cost significantly less than a French holiday. If you are still on the fence about where to go for your next big summer holiday, or even if you are in the market for a second home, here are a few great reasons to visit Spain.
Spanish culture is an incredible blend of European culture, with its strong Greek and Latin influence, and African/Moorish background. This translates into incredible food, architecture and history. One of the best ways to experience all three is to walk the Camino De Compostela. This is a beautiful and scenic hiking trail that runs the route of an old pilgrimage, to the Cathedral of Santiago De Compostela in Galicia where the Apostle Saint James is supposedly buried. The whole trail can be quite a challenge, but if you plan your route ahead you will walk through some of the most attractive sections of the Spanish countryside. It is an unrivalled chance to experience some of the best parts of Spanish culture; stop at towns along the way and enjoy the food and local hospitality.
Spanish cities are also a huge draw for visitors. While Francophiles may say that Spain has no Paris, it is hard to argue against the attraction of incredible cities such as Madrid and Barcelona. Madrid is a stunning, historical town that is full of vibrant local culture.
The restaurants and cafes are particularly good in the capital city. One such restaurant is La Terraza Del Casino, a very popular eatery with tourists and locals alike, that serves authentic Spanish food in a rustic setting. Barcelona also has much to offer, especially in its nightlife. If you are interested in a night on the town then Sala Apolo is a good choice. A converted theatre, Sala Apolo, has a strong thespian vibe and gives a very varied and enjoyable club experience,
If you are beginning to be swayed by the prospect of a Spanish holiday, or even buying property in Spain, what may be the deciding factor is the price. Amenities and necessities alike are much cheaper in Spain than in the rest of Europe. With prices as they are, there has never been a better time to invest in a piece of rural Spanish property. Luxury villas in Spain are much cheaper than similar accommodation in the rest of Europe and, whatever your holiday tastes, you are bound to find something you will enjoy.
