During March 2003, my wife and I went to stay at a town on mainland Spain called Oliva. This is approximately halfway between Alicante and Valencia, about two miles inland. Whilst we were there, we did a lot of touring, but the highlight of the week was a day trip to Xativa El Castell. This is a magnificent castle overlooking the small ...  Read the complete review

A few summers ago I worked in a hotel called Las Truchas (the trout) in a remote area of Spain It was in a beautiful location, about one hours drive from the city of Zaragoza, in a small village called Nuevalos. Nearby is the Monasterio de Piedra, which is a national park with many waterfalls. When most people think of going on holiday in Spain, ...  Read the complete review

I went on a twenties holiday and i was expecting a certain amount of madness but i have never seen anything like it! our apartments were terrible, there were a group of lads in the next apartment having sick contests off the balcony, ...  Read the complete review

A friend of ours has a villa close to Gandia in a little village called Ador. 2 years ago we visited and were absolutely astounded by the beauty of the place. It's pretty much equidistant between Alicante and Valencia but the price difference between flying in to the two airports is huge. Alicante is much cheaper due to the ...  Read the complete review

I went on holiday to Callea in September of this year, I was worried that I would be going to the usual Blackpool abroad that some of the spanish resorts have turned out to be, but Callea was not like that. Situated on the main railway line to Barcelona, Callea had a wonderful mixture of people, from all age groups and countries, it was a ...  Read the complete review

I recently went on my first trip to Spain and loved it. We stayed in Sitges at the Hotel Antemare, a very good 4 star hotel. This area of Spain is quite quiet compared to other parts and doesn't have much in the way of entertainment apart from the bars in the town at night. If you are looking for a more lively place you would be better ...  Read the complete review

Having spent a week here this summer I can say that it is a great place.Yes the crowd is a little older but the beach is great and not to crowed with loads of sun. Barcelona is only one hour on the train which makes for a GREAT day trip. If you go the other direction you have a few more lively resorts for a good night out. Of course it is full of ...  Read the complete review

Mojacar is about 45 minutes east of Almeria in Andalucia, in an area which has more sun filled days than any other in Spain! The playa area (beach) is OK, and this is where the Pueblo Indalo is located - this is the main location for British holiday makers. The area is also very popular with those from Valencia, Madrid & Barcalona, ...  Read the complete review

Just over an hours drives from Alicante airport is the small town of Denia. Denia has the most gorgeous white sandy long beach with restaurants and bars lining the sand. There are sunbeds to hire but it is just as nice to lie on the sand. The sea is warm and there are jetski's to hire. Along the seafront you can also hire quad bikes! ...  Read the complete review

Just a stone's throw up the coast from Lloret, hidden in a bay is a beautiful town called Tossa. Devidede into two parts, the new lively town and the older town-walled Villa Vella (pronounced, I am assured "veya vaya"). This small town is reminiscent in part, of a Devon fishing village. The beaches are soft golden sand ...  Read the complete review

Chinchon is a special part of Spain. If you're ever travelling south from Madrid then you should divert off the main carriageway to chill out here. They are famous for their Anis (aniseed tasting alcohol) and garlic but that is not the reason for visiting here. It is a pretty little village that is all located around the circular centre which ...  Read the complete review

Competa is one of those beautiful white washed villages in the Andalucian Mountains. I went there last year, I fancied Spain but didn't want the typical 'British' Spain, I wanted to see where the real Spaniards lived. I rented a Finca (Villa) with a pool in Competa not knowing too much what to expect! After flying to ...  Read the complete review

An hours drive south from tourist ridden city of Alicante is Murcia. The City with its typical architecture and cuisine is a thriving city full of history and culture. April sees "La Banda de la Huerta", an annual festival during which the local community pay homage to the Virgin Mary and take part in various celebrations ...  Read the complete review

Well if it's a Spanish Blackpool that you are looking for then this is the place. It is full of English takeaways, and 'English' pubs such as 'The Rovers Return'! I suppose it really depends on what you are looking for in a holiday but this place really wasn't for me. The late nights/early mornings are full of drunken ...  Read the complete review
