Spain is undoubtedly one of the world’s most sought-after vacation destinations, with its picture-perfect weather, vibrant culture and welcoming locals. Its popularity isn’t slowing down, either, with Robin Coenen, the Club Villamar CEO, noticing an “increase of 37% in UK travellers” in Spain recently.
But, if you still need to be convinced, here is a list of the top five reasons Spain is the best vacation destination:
1. The Culture
From wine fights to running with bulls, Spain is renowned for its wacky festivals. Join in with the jovial locals as you avoid thousands of flying tomatoes at La Tomatina, and watch in awe as grown men jump over babies. If this all seems a bit too intense, don’t fret. The Spanish also know how to kickback. No need to rush into the day, as most shops won’t open until 10 o’clock. You’ll also get to have guilt-free naps as you siesta with the entire country every afternoon.
2. The Cuisine
Who hasn’t dreamed of filling their stomach full of tapas and pintxos? If you’ve never heard of these tasty Spanish bites, then you’re in for a treat. Typically served after your daily siesta, tapas is a gourmet treat usually atop a slice of baguette. Better yet, most restaurants will serve you free tapas when you order a drink. So, line up a few sangrias and say “¡Salud!”
3. The Beaches
With over 3,000 miles of coastline, it’s no surprise that Spain has some of the world’s most spectacular beaches. Whether you visit the Costa Brava in the north or the Costa del Sol in the south, you’ll always be met with crystal blue waters and top-notch sunbathing spots. These popular holiday destinations also have some of the world’s best luxury villas, which are worth looking into for a truly relaxing vacation.
4. The Weather
Spain is statistically the sunniest country in Europe. The country enjoys long summers and fantastic weather yearround. With no fewer than 300 sunny days every year, you can always soak up the rays in this country.
5. The Towns
Spain has a mix of big, bustling hubs, like Barcelona and Madrid, and lazy resort towns, such as Tossa de Mar and Alicante, to suit anyone’s holiday style. Many of their towns are rich inhistory and culture, giving you endless things to discover on your trip. There are even several UNESCO heritage-listed sites for you to explore within the country.
