6 Reasons Why Spain is Still the Greatest Holiday Destination
If the fact that some of the most talented (and good-looking) stars such as Penelope Cruz or Enrique Iglesias were born in Spain is simply not enough to motivate you to visit this spectacular country, stay tuned. Spain has been an extremely popular holiday destination for years now, and the popularity isn’t going away. And it’s for a good reason – this beautiful place offers practically everything that you’ve wished for – rich culture, amazing nightlife and great scenery. So, if you’re trying to think of a destination for your next holiday, this is why you should take Spain into consideration. One thing is certain – if you choose to go there, regardless of the season, you won’t regret it.
Here are some ideas what to do in Spain while on holidays.
Taking photos at some of the most beautiful destinations
Each country is Instagrammable in its own way, but there’s something about Spain that’s completely different. If you happen to visit the capital, Madrid, it doesn’t matter what street you end up in – you’ll be able to take some of the most amazing photographs ever! This is because every corner of this city is perfect and totally unique. If you want something that’s even more unique, then Valencia might be your destination. This is a city that created the most amazing park out of a riverbed and witnessing this genius place is a great idea. You can also choose to visit some of the most beautiful Spanish villages if you’re up for a really authentic experience – such as Arcos de la Frontera, Iznajar, Coregana or Casares near Malaga.
Trying out the most amazing cuisine
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of paella, the authentic Spanish dish made out of rice and seafood. This is definitely something that each tourist has to try – if you know where to grab a plate of this your palate will be quite thankful. However, this is not the only dish that tourists should try out. Make sure to try the jamón (cured ham), as it’s one of the tastiest things that exist in Spain. Moreover, keep an eye open for tapas – you might have tried this dish somewhere before, but the Spanish tapas are completely different.
Going even if you have a health condition
If you’re suffering from some kind of a health condition, then you might be worried about making any holiday plans at all. However, Spain is a country that really pays a lot of attention to its citizens, and medical holidays are quite popular in this country. This means that you can even consider vacation dialysis in Spain if you need one, and it’s bound to be minimally disruptive. Spain offers a wide range of quality public and private hospitals, so you can enjoy the views of any city while still getting your treatment. Just remember how to pronounce the word hospital – it’s el hospital with a silent h.
Having a daily dose of Gaudi
Being in Spain and not seeing any of the Gaudi’s works of art simply doesn’t count as a proper visit – so the next destination should definitely be Barcelona. Starting from Sagrada Familia to the Park Güell, there are plenty of sights in this picturesque city that you simply have to see at least once in your lifetime. You don’t have to book your whole holiday for Barcelona, as spending a couple of days here and then proceeding to some of the beautiful villages and towns in Spain and Catalonia might be a perfect idea.
Sunbathing at mesmerizing beaches
You can consider Spain as a holiday destination regardless of the season, as it’s equally beautiful in spring, summer, fall and winter. However, if summer is the time when you can get some time off from your work then visiting some of its most beautiful beaches and resorts is definitely a must. Not only can you visit any beach on the Spanish coast, such as the perfect sandy ones in Andalucía or Catalonia, but you also have the option of visiting beautiful Spanish islands such as Balearic or Canary Islands. You’re probably struggling to find the next summer holiday destination every year, so why not go to Spain in 2019?
Immersing in the rich culture
Spain is not a country that’s only known for its beautiful people and landscapes – it’s also an extremely important historical country. It has a great position, which means that it was a rather important country throughout the centuries. Apart from witnessing the most amazing examples of architecture, you can also immerse into great experiences such as watching bull fighting in Grenada, Sevilla or Valladolid, or attending a great Spanish festival such as La Tomatina, which is basically a huge tomato fight which is held every August on the streets of the town Bunol.
Yes, visiting Spain should be one of your priorities this year, especially if you’re still trying to find your next holiday destination. You will experience everything here – amazing nightlife and clubs, super-tasty food and mind-boggling architecture. Buen viaje!
