5 Reasons to Visit Spain

With summer fast approaching, and travel restrictions looking to be eased over the next few months too, I'm sure we're not the only ones who are looking to the future of holidays and travel again (you can actually read our travel plans for 2021 which I shared recently here).

If you are considering travelling abroad this summer and are looking for the perfect destination, then Spain is a great option to choose. Spain is a country that is not only hot in climate but also has some stunning beaches and landscapes to enjoy. Plus if you are travelling with a family the flight times are really reasonable too. Below are 5 more reasons to consider Spain as your holiday destination this year.

The People

One of the first great reasons for you to visit Spain this year is the people who live there. When visiting many European countries such as Spain or Italy; you will immediately notice a sense of welcoming and family when you arrive. The people in Spain are very friendly and generous and will make you feel at home as soon as you arrive. Consider a trip to a small village in Spain to really experience the family value of this country.

The Beaches

Many of us immediately look toward the coast when we are looking for the perfect summer getaway. Being able to lie on the beach in the sunshine or swim in the sea is always the best feeling, and there are plenty of stunning beaches to enjoy in Spain as well as its islands. Make sure to check out this list of the favourite beaches in Spain and aim to visit a few of them during you stay - you won’t be disappointed.

The Food

Spain is one of those countries that is well known for its food. In Spain, tomato based dishes are very popular as are foods with fresh vegetables and spiced meats. If you have never had tapas before you are in for a treat and you can order a few small plates of food to try and enjoy (perfect to get little ones tasting and trying new foods). Spanish culture is very much about hosting and sharing and you’ll see this very clearly when you go to a Spanish restaurant. The Spanish care about the experience you have as well as the food and you will really feel that sense of home when you visit.

The Countryside

Spain has a lot of beautiful seaside resorts that are incredibly popular all year long for those looking for a getaway. But if you are in the mood for a different kind of holiday, Spain also contains some stunning hiking trails and natural landscapes. For those of you looking for some adventure and a more active holiday, Spain is a wonderful choice and you can explore stunning countryside as well as see some beautiful local wildlife. 

The Vibrant Cities

If it is a short weekend break you are looking for, then why not try one of the vibrant cities in Spain? From Barcelona to Madrid - Spain has some of the most beautiful and architecturally stunning cities in Europe. Either go it alone and explore the cities at your own leisurely pace, or why not looking into booking a site-seeing tour to make sure you don't miss anything. Jack and I are definitely considering Barcelona for a couples break in the future!
