Picture this; you’re staying in traditional Spain Villas, nestled close to the beach. There’s beautiful food at your doorstep, whether you want to indulge in paella, pintxos, or even a glass of tinto de verano. You can spend your vacation enjoying some of the finest beaches in the world, while breaking your day up with a siesta and later enjoying a fiesta. That’s Spain in summer in a nutshell (and even parts of Spain in winter). If this sounds like your kind of holiday, then you might want to check out the following top 4 beaches in Spain. Once you’ve booked your Spain Villas for your trip, you can then make the most of the golden sand, delicious food and the relaxing lifestyle the Spanish are well known for.
1) San Sebastian
San Sebastian is one of my favourite beaches in all of the world, let alone Spain. It’s a great holiday destination, even if you ignore the beach – which is pretty hard because the city is spread around it. Here you’ll find some of the best food in the world – and in all of Spain, called Pintxos. Pintxos are small portions of delicately designed dishes that will woo your taste buds. You move from restaurant to restaurant, seeking out restaurant specialties before moving on to try something else. It’s a very social and fun way of enjoying new things. The beach in San Sebastian is literally a few meters from the city centre and is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It’s easy to spend a few lazy days here, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the Basque region.
2) Costa Blanca
Literally translated as “White coast” this part of Spain is prized for it’s bright turquoise waters, the irresistibly white sandy beaches and exciting nightlife – it is a perfect mix of everything you would want for a great holiday escape away. This is a great place for younger travellers who might want to party a little – or families who are keen to soak up some serious sunshine and relax, making it a very versatile place to visit. This is also a great part of Spain to do water sports… if you’re so daring.
3) The Canary Islands
As if Spain wasn’t tempting enough as a holiday destination, the Canary Islands boast beautiful sunshine year-round. So while others are suffering a dismal winter, you can plan a quick escape to the Canary Islands and enjoy their everlasting sunshine. These islands are regarded as the perfect family escape, proving to be a nice relaxing break from the day to day hustle and bustle of modern life.
4) Ibiza
If you’re young and want to party, there’s really no where else in the world that tops Ibiza. You can literally crawl from the beach into a nightclub at any hour of the night – or day, and you’ll find yourself thoroughly entertained. Top DJs headline the clubs in Ibiza throughout the year and there are a number of different beaches around the island depending on whether you want to party hardcore or are here to enjoy a bit of a mix between relaxing and partying. Book into one of the many luxurious Spain Villas so that you can get adequate sleep in between dancing the night away.
Spain is a great place to plan a holiday, especially if you’re a beach bum like me. Regardless of whether you’re traveling as a couple, with a family, as a group of friends or solo, there’s somewhere in Spain to suit every style of traveler and every budget.
