“Spain is different!” Locals insist that their corner of the world is worth a visit on a European tour not because it outshines any other European city, but because it’s different. The areas of Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca are popular with British and German travelers. Mediterranean Spain is famous for culture, beaches, golf courses, bullfights, flamenco dancing and its own brand of cuisine. But to truly experience the local atmosphere, rent self-catering Holiday Villas in Spain.

With no itinerary, no dining schedule to adhere to, no group of tourists to follow, you can live like a local. Self-catering means that you can go out for tapas or sample one of many jamones hanging in the marketplace. You can dine on the famous Mediterranean cuisine that Spain has become famous for with its American influence. You can tour the Baroque architecture of Valencia and visit her many museums admiring the works of famous, notable artists such as Pablo Picasso.

In Costa del Sol, the “Coast of the Sun,” you will experience year-round mild climate along the beach front towns that stretch from Algeciras to Almeria. The area is not as well known for its beaches, however, the golf courses are world-famous. Visit the Los Monteros in Marbella which is widely regarded as the best course in Costa del Sol.

The best beaches to explore are El Bajondillo, La Carihuela, El Fuerte and La Fontanilla. These are free public beaches and you’ll find plenty of opportunity for windsurfing, waterskiing, sunbathing or even yachting at the famous, posh resort of Puerto Banus. In Costa Blanca you’ll find Holiday Villas in Spain in Alicante, Torrevieja, Maraira, and Javea. Costa Blanca resides in the heart of Spain’s third largest city, Valencia as Valencia’s capital and is a popular winter resort because of its mild weather.
