Summer holidays on the Spanish Mediterranean

Traveling to Spain for the long awaited summer holidays is on a lot people’s agendas.

Being such a large and diverse country, there is always something to satisfy all tastes. From your standard beach holiday on one of Spain’s Costas, to a rural break in some Europe’s best natural parks, to a renting a cottage in a small white washed village, the choices are limitless.

Traditionally, summer is a time for people to head to the coast and enjoy relaxing by the beach. Along the Costa Brava there are numerous places to visit.

Calella de Palafrugell, Lloret de Mar, Empuriabrava, Roses Platja d Aro, Catalonia - are all destinations that are popular with foreign and national visitors.

Further on down the coast you have the Costa Blanca. The white coast. One of the more mountainous areas of Spain (the province of Alicante is actually the second most mountainous in Spain), this sets the scene for some breathtaking coastal landscapes. Some of the more well-known areas are, Altea, Calpe, Denia, Javea, La Marina and Moraira. For some beautiful holiday rentals on the Costa Blanca. Denia also provides easy access to the Balearic Islands with car ferries leaving regularly.

The Costa Tropical is one area that is becoming popular. Still relatively untouched, it is an area that is beginning to open up, mainly due to improved road access and the increasing availability of flights to Granada. Areas such as Motril Almunecar Salobrena or Albondón are still very Spanish and remain to be properly discovered.
