All about: cheap Spain holidays

Spain has been a popular package holiday destination with Northern Europeans since the 1950s, especially the southern Costa where you can enjoy in the region of 300 days of sunshine a year. However, nowadays with the advent of the internet, there is much more choice in choosing package deals and finding cheap holidays in Spain.

Using a travel agency

The traditional method is to go into a travel agency and let them do all the hard work for you. Many people think that leaving it to the last minute will bring them cheap deals to Spain, but this is not always the case and hence, it is often better do the booking as early in the year as possible. Get a good selection of holiday brochures to look through before making your choice. All inclusive holidays
These are often a very popular choice, especially with families. The accommodation is usually in quality hotels where excellent facilities such as swimming pools, children activities and spa treatments for parents are available. Read the small print carefully to make sure you know exactly what is and is not included in your deal. The advantage to this type of holiday is that you know exactly what the cost is, right from the start. Popular areas for the all-inclusive deals are the Costa Blanca ( Benidorm), the Costa del Sol and the Canary Islands.

Using the internet

With the advent of the information super highway, many people like to book their own holidays. There are many websites that can offer you cheap Spain flights and cheap hotel deals in Spain. The trick to this is to first do your research on the area that you want to visit and check the exact location of the hotel in relation to the beach and other facilities. Also check where the airport is in relation to your holiday destination as some of the low cost airlines fly into airports some distance from the actual resort area. 2-night breaks
One of the great advantages to Spain is that it is only a short hop by plane from the UK and other northern countries and therefore,it is an ideal location for short weekend breaks.The cities of Barcelona and Madrid are the most popular weekend destinations, both with many attractions, museums and night-life to enjoy. Final word
Whether you decide to use a travel agency or custom-make your own holiday through the internet, there are many low cost holiday opportunities to Spain. Even with the current Euro to pound sterling exchange rate, it just needs a little research to find the perfect deal for you and your family.
