Most people have a holiday to find sun, sea and sand, of which Spain has in abundance. Anywhere you travel on the Mediterranean coast you will run across some of the best beaches in the world. As you travel along the Iberian Peninsula you will pass through the Costa Calida, Costa Almeria, Costa Tropical, Costa del Sol, Costa de la Luz and the Costa Blanca, all these beaches are well known to the international traveler for their beauty and water sports.
A good time of the year to travel to Spain is during the fiesta season. A fiesta celebrates a religious event or a political incident of which Spain has more than you could visit in a lifetime. This is a good time to learn about the Spanish tradition and culture on a one to one basis by joining in with the locals as they celebrate their special occasion. Most fiestas have street dancing, live music, parades, food and drink stalls and an amazing fireworks display at the end.
The lover of adventure sports will have an excellent opportunity to practice his skills in Spain's mountainous terrain. For example, you could climb to the top of a mountain with nothing more than a few pieces of string and some cloth and jump off into nothing. This is a quick way to get back down to the bottom of the mountain. If you happen to be in the Pyrenees mountains you could go hiking and mountain biking or horse riding. The Pyrenees also have a number of snow ski resorts that have slopes for all levels of skiing expertise.
The best way to discover Spain on an up close and personal basis is to go for a walk through the countryside. This way you can experience a mixture of tradition, culture and history as you travel along. Walking through the lush countryside affords you the opportunity to pass through ancient villages with historic chapels. Also, the locals will give you a history of their little village that they are so proud of.
When designing your HOLIDAY TO SPAIN try and include a walking tour in your busy schedule. Whether you go it alone or with a group, a walk through the beautiful countryside will enable you to sample the real Spain and all it has to offer.
