Taking a Holiday in Spain

For a continent as small as Europe, the weather can vary drastically from region to region.  Some areas, like the British Isles, get copious amounts of rain throughout the year, only letting up slightly in the summer.  Other parts, like the Eastern and Northern sectors of Europe, get mighty cold in the winter time, with heavy falls of snow, long dark days and frigid temperatures the norm across the region.

Then there are places like Spain, located in the warmest, driest region on the continent.  Here, the summers are bright and sunny, and even in the winter time, temperatures are mild and even warm by the standards of many people.  As such, no matter what time of year it may happen to be when you are seeking to get away from your dreary routine, Spain always seems to be a solid choice.

On your next trip, you are looking to see the aspects of this sun-baked country that makes it such a desirable place to live and holiday in.  To this end, we have prepared some suggestions for you below, so that your next venture down south is a fulfilling one indeed!

1) Port Adventura Resort – Billed as being one of the most premier destination resorts in Spain, this theme park complex is one that you must experience if you are traveling with your family.  Containing an aquatic park to splash away the long, hot Iberian summer days, as well as many other exciting rides for the adrenaline freaks in your party, this complex has something to please all the types of people that pass through their gates.  Transport to and from the park is a non-issue, as there are no less than four hotels on site and purchasing your Port Aventura tickets can be done online or on site.

2) Barcelona – Home to inspiring architecture, sizzling nightlife, and the 1992 Summer Olympics, Barcelona is the one city in this diverse country that you simply can’t afford to leave off your travel itinerary.  Culture buffs will spend a lot of time admiring one of the gaudiest churches in the world in the Sagrada Familia church, while those interested in people watching will want to head to the Placa dels Angels, where there are a plethora of fine coffee shops, and an abundance of skilled skateboarders practicing complex tricks to the amazement of many onlookers.
