Spanish Weekend Breaks

Spanish Weekend Breaks - Surprisingly different Spanish city breaks
A favourite with generations of UK travellers, Spain has never lost its traditional charm and colour even in its major beach resorts along the Costas. However a Spanish weekend break in one of its elegant cities offers an even more vivid glimpse of Iberian culture. This is especially true when coinciding with one of its famous summer fiestas and religious celebrations. Nowhere in Spain is more distinctive than chic Bilbao or proud Barcelona, both offering stylish contemporary attractions and centuries old traditions unlike anywhere else in Spain. Equally as compelling is the exotic melting pot of Seville, a beautiful, vibrant place that boasts a startling blend of Islamic art, historic Andalusian architecture and a youthful, modern vitality.

Spanish Weekend Breaks - Heaven for food lovers
The delightful sandy beaches of the Spanish coastline are always a major attraction in sunny Malaga, fun loving Palma de Mallorca and Alicante. Combine a day of soaking up the sun or adventurous water sports with inspiring sightseeing and shopping. Adventurous Spanish short breaks will capture the imagination of keen horse riders and hikers in scenic Almeria and who could resist the lure of the magnificent golf courses of Malaga and Alicante? Indulgent Spanish weekend breaks can really feast on some culinary delights and no visit to stylish Valencia is complete without sampling its delicious seafood or the hearty game casserole dishes of Bilbao. The most distinctive cuisine can be had in cosmopolitan Seville, known for its spicy rice dishes, pastries and exotic fruits.

Spanish Weekend Breaks - Enchanting Madrid and Barcelona
Refined Madrid and vibrant Barcelona each vie for the title of Spain's most popular short break destination and both are modern, multicultural cities filled with iconic historic monuments and fabulous art. Some of the finest art in Europe can be seen in Madrid's world class museums such as the Prada and the utterly unique Gaudi architecture of Barcelona is a sight to behold. Dining, drinking and dancing take on a whole new meaning in these all action 24 hour cities where stylish tapas bars, clubs and elegant restaurants are found in every district. Deserved respite from an action packed Spanish weekend break can be enjoyed in Madrid's beautiful botanic gardens and public parks or on the golden sands of Barcelonetta beach.
