Spain City Breaks

Spain is a great option for cheap city breaks for those travelling from the UK, with many budget airlines offering cheap flights to city break destinations across the country and a wide variety of cities and settings to choose from. Popular Spain city break destinations include Barcelona, Madrid and Seville and there are many other smaller cities across both the north and south of the country perfect for weekend and short breaks. City breaks in Spain are particularly enjoyable during the hot summer months when the southern European climate is at its finest, allowing you to soak in the rays and enjoy and the relaxed pace and culture of a Spanish city all in one.

Northern Spain is home to one of Spain’s most popular city break destinations, Barcelona. Situated on the eastern coast in Catalonia, a city break in Barcelona offers the chance to experience the effortless charm and vibrant daily life of this iconic Spanish city. The unique architecture tells the story of the city’s fascinating artistic influences with the Gaudi masterpieces La Sagrada Familia church and Park Guell just two of the numerous sights on offer. The Spanish capital Madrid, in central Spain, is also a good choice for short breaks in Spain. Madrid is a cosmopolitan hub offering grand architecture, a wide range of cuisine and entertainment and a number of historic attractions including the Royal Palace and Almudena Cathedral. Regular flights to both Barcelona and Madrid make a city break in Spain particularly accessible. 

While city breaks in southern Spain may involve a slightly longer flight, those who travel here will be rewarded with sun, sea and sand on their city break in Spain. Malaga in the heart of the Costa del Sol is a popular option for those in search of a truly laid-back sun city break, with some great shopping and fantastic beaches into the bargain. Similarly, Alicante on the south-eastern Costa Blanca is another good option for relaxing breaks in southern Spain, with the imposing Castle of Santa Barbara perched high above the city and the bustling city port. Alternatively, try heading slightly inland into the southern region of Andalucía for a relaxing cultural city break in Seville. Here you will find the striking Cathedral of Seville, the intricate Alcazar Palace and the colourful Plaza de Espana to name just a few of the city’s attractions on a city break in Spain.
