More than 50 million tourists visit Spain every year.. Holidays in Spain offer a variety of landscapes, including snow-capped mountains, golden beaches, and lush countryside. Spanish cities are bursting with stunning architecture and magnificent museums and monuments.

Overview

Holidays in Spain are often spent lazing on the golden sandy beaches of the beautiful Mediterranean coastline. The Spanish Costas have long been a favourite among British tourists, particularly the Costa Blanca, Costa Brava, and Costa Del Sol.

The Costas are very popular with families seeking a relaxing break with plenty of activities close to hand. This stretch of coastline also appeals to couples seeking a romantic break, as well as groups of young partygoers. As a result of this wide appeal, there is a good choice of accommodation, from five-star all-inclusive hotels to self-catering apartments. Costa Blanca and Costa Brava boast spectacular countryside: Costa Blanca is known for its colourful coastline with orange groves and orchards, while Costa Brava features pretty tree-lined bays.

The 100-mile golden shores of Spain's Costa del Sol draw hoards of tourists every year. Set against a backdrop of dramatic mountains, the Costa Brava, and Costa del Sol offers a series of extensive beaches, pretty marinas, traditional town centres, luxurious golf courses and non-stop entertainment. Malaga is the capital of the Costa del Sol, and offers a wealth of museums, monuments, golf courses and beaches. A few of the most popular beaches on the Costa del Sol are Malaga's volcanic beaches of La Malagueta and Caleta, Marbella's fine white sand beach of Puente Romana, and Guadiaro's marina-side beach of Torreguardiario
