Cheap Spanish Getaways

Spain - Budget airlines, affordable fares and beautifull all inclusive hotels have turned Spain into a beach resort heaven for northern Europeans wishing to escape their own damp climates. With sun-bleached beaches of Spain and a favourable rate of exchange for most travellers, it's easy to see why. Some may feel that the Canary and Balearic Islands have been overrun by tourists, and this is true to some extent - Tenerife, Lanzarote and Majorca have become synonymous with cheap package holidays and warm beer, and Ibiza's reputation has, for some, been tarnished by the revellers frequenting its famous dance clubs and beach parties; however even here you will find many magical, unspoilt corners of Spain still awaiting discovery.

The Sights & Attractions of Spain

Visitors to Spain who enjoy soaking up some local culture and history find the Costa Dorada has plenty to show, particularly the main regional city of Tarragona, which was an important army base in Roman times and today boasts historical ruins and a variety of museums. Excursions inland, among vineyards, olive groves and almond plantations, take in the quaint medieval city of Montblanc with its fine Gothic church, and there are some interesting monastery ruins dating back to the 12th century at Poblet. Adding to the area’s natural and historic attractions is Spain's sunny climate.
