Spanish Short Breaks - An incredible variety of local cultures
Spain remains the favourite sunshine destination for UK travellers yet has so much more to offer in its fabulous towns and cities. Very few nations can provide such rich contrasts as the Basque heartland of classy Bilbao, a proud Catalan culture in Barcelona or exotic, sultry Seville. Spanish short breaks will witness spectacular history to take the breath away. The Gaudi architecture of Barcelona is absolutely unique and unmissable and a short break in Almeria or Seville simply must include a trip to the magnificent Alhambra palace. Madrid itself is a haven for art lovers and has one of the largest and finest collections of fine art in Europe. It possesses several world class museums and elegant royal palaces filled with priceless art treasures.
Spanish Short Breaks - A sunshine city break
For undemanding sunshine city breaks by the Mediterranean, Spain is hard to beat. The golden sands of Alicante, sun drenched Malaga or Palma de Mallorca offer idyllic sunbathing, water sports and some of Europe's finest golf courses. All feature a vibrant night time cocktail of stylish cafes, bars, flamenco shows and even casinos. Spanish short breaks are best enjoyed during one of the many colourful fiestas which showcase a great sense of fun and vitality in the community. The running of the bulls in Pamplona or La Tomatina is two of the most spectacular and Easter short breaks in Spain are sure to see vivid processions and feasting. This is especially colourful in Seville, Valencia and Madrid.
Spanish Short Breaks - Heavenly cuisine from around the nation
A Spanish short break can provide many exciting opportunities for adventurous sporting activities. Southern Spain can offer it all with water sports, snorkelling and scuba diving, horseback trekking across arid desert plains in Almeria and even mountain and winter sports. Tempting gastronomy and shopping go hand in hand on a Spanish short break, highlighting the exciting combination of vibrant street markets and delicious seafood in trendy Bilbao, high end designer boutiques in fashionable Barcelona and a never ending choice of exotic, spicy flavours to sample in Seville. Of course Madrid has it all in abundance and visitors can sample regional dishes from across the nation and browse for artwork and tradition gifts from every corner of Spain.
