Spanish culture is rich, and we the British people love Spain and it has become somewhat of a home from home for us, as it only takes approximately two and a half to three hours to fly from the UK to Spain, which is far less time than it would take to drive from say Newcastle to Cornwall or Devon, which are two of Britain's favourite holiday destinations at home.



Generally, a holiday in Spain is very cheap, and there are many first-rate resorts, hotels and provinces to stay at, visit and enjoy. A holiday in Spain can make for a brilliant holiday for any person, whether a young couple, old couple, a group of friends, sole traveller, grown up family or a young family. Spain really does offer a great variety of entertainment and activities to keep everybody happy, which is really why it is so popular.

Spain is known to be the party capital of Europe and thousands of Britons are drawn there to party and rave every year. Whilst this has courted much bad publicity due to the minority of reported incidents involving thuggish behaviour by Britons there, this really is an absolute minority and is generally blown out of all proportions by the media, and you are very unlikely to encounter any such troubles statistically, which is worth noting should you be considering such a jaunt.

Car hire in Spain is perhaps one of the most important aspects of holidaying in Spain. For some people, staying at the resort throughout their entire holiday is more than fine, but for others whom may wish to venture further a field and have other ideas, a car will be needed to get you around. Your travel agent, as they will usually have a good knowledge of the local facilities and services, ought to be able to recommend a reputable car hire service which you can utilise in the local area you are going to be holidaying in. It is also important to remember Spain is a very hot country, and a car with air conditioning is going to be essential. Sure, it will cost more, but it will really help to cut down the chances of you suffering from heat stroke and exhaustion if you are able to keep the heat at bay.
