Things to do
When it comes to things to do on Spanish holidays, you’ll be spoilt for choice. In the country’s many beach resorts, you won’t be able to resist lounging around on the sand, soaking up the Mediterranean sunshine. And if you feel like picking up the pace, you could always try your hand at water sports; you’ll find plenty going on in places like Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca or Costa Almeria in mainland Spain.

When it comes to keeping the kids happy, you’ll find a great choice of fun-filled waterparks that they’ll just love.
Places to stay
With a fantastic range of beaches, many Blue Flag awarded, you can see why this country attracts beach lovers, year after year. Holidays on the mainland are about the Costas; named the “Golden Coast”, this stretch of sandy beaches is drenched in sunshine. In the Canaries, you’ll find black volcanic sands in Lanzarote and Saharan shores in Gran Canaria, while in the Balearics, Menorca boasts secluded coves and Majorca enjoys sweeping bays. In Ibiza, it's become a tradition to watch the spectacular sunsets.

Costa Blanca

It's more than just beaches though, holidays to Costa Blanca can take you up into the hills, with the countryside rich with colour, charming vineyards and the smell of citrus and almond groves.

Costa Del Sol
Spanish for "Coast of the Sun", Costa del Sol holidays are filled with plenty of warm weather. There's plenty of beaches for everyone to enjoy all of that sunshine, but there's plenty more to the sun coast than soft sands and blue waters. On holidays to Costa del Sol, you'll find sleepy villages amongst the hills and mountains that are beautiful to drive through, vibrant nightlife and some rich history and culture too.
Costa Dorada
Costa Dorada holidays are filled with fun for everyone. Salou is a lively resort that's got lots for family days out, while there are plenty of beaches along the coast for fun on the sands and to swim in the warm waters.

What should I pack?
If you’re booking your holidays to Spain in the summer months, then put sunscreen at the top of your list. Aside from that, there are a few bits and bobs that will help to make your break that little bit easier. If you can’t live without your gadgets you might want to bring a power adaptor so you can charge them up back in your hotel. A portable power pack is also a good idea for gizmo addicts.
When it comes to clothing, keep it light and airy, with outfits made from linen and cotton. For those balmy Spanish evenings, it’s a good idea to have something special; the Spanish are a stylish people and if you’re going for a night out, dressing up is the only way to blend in.
Swimwear is important if you’re hoping to hit the beach and flip-flops are a convenient way of getting across the sun-bleached sands, without burning your feet or ruining your best shoes.
