Answer 3

If you're going with someone you are truly, madly, deeply in love with, any where is a great place to go to. But in case you want some more detail, here's some info on the nice spots in Spain and some info for when you go there:

"Spain is divided neatly in four regions each with their own distinct personalities and indeed their own language. The Pamplona region is home to the San Fermins festival and is the birthplace of the legendary Spanish Bullfights. The North-east includes the sunny Balearic Islands and Catalunya; home to Picasso and Salvador Dali. The North-eastern region also includes Barcelona, one of Spain’s most celebrated cities. Galicia is the north-west corner of the country and from here Portugal is just a short drive away. Finally Andalucia is the most historic part of the country and contains cities such as Granada and Sevilla.

Currency:Euro 1 euro = 100 cents

Time Zone:GMT + 1

Language:Spanish (Castillan) although other regional dialects are also spoken

Things to see and do

Spain has a whole range of things to see and do; wherever you are in Spain you should sample the local tapas bars. Tapas bars serve assorted dishes of local specialties which are normally eaten as a snack perhaps whist relaxing with a glass of chilled sangria, another Spanish specialty.

If you are into your History you couldn’t go wrong with a visit to Granada’s Alhambra, this ancient Moorish palace was built in 1238 by Ibn Ahmar the founder of the Nasrid dynasty. The Alcazaba (citadel) and palace sections are open to visitors, the highlight is the "Patio de los Le2 (Court of the Lions) which is a magnificent alabaster basin supported by 12 ornate white marble lions.

Or perhaps you would rather spend a day at "Universal Mediterranea" a huge theme park on Spain’s Costa Dorada. As well as the expected white knuckle and water splash rides there are nightly shows and other assorted entertainment.

Finally there is the beaches, the magnificent Spanish weather attracts millions to the sun kissed beaches along the Costa del Sol and to the alcohol fuelled party mayhem of the Spanish Islands. Whatever your taste Spain is a classic beach country and you will find beaches generally quite busy but well serviced by the inevitable hordes of tacky gift shops, English style pubs and other traditional tourist traps.

Travel

Spain is quite easy to travel around in, the rail network is for the most part well maintained and easy to use. RENFE operates a large network including connections between Madrid and most major cities. The network is fairly radial in topography so you might find buses better for short distances. Return fares offer you a 40% reduction on the return leg so it is wise to use them where possible.

As well as the travel passes outlined in our travel section under 26’s can purchase a "Tarjeta Explorerail" from RENFE which allows unlimited travel on most trains. These passes come in various flavours from 3 days right up to a month and represent good value for money. If however you are travelling through other European countries you might want to look into getting a more universal travel pass. See our section on European rail travel for more details.

Accommodation

Accommodation is easy to find, in any of the major tourist hot-spots there are the traditional sky rise hotels and sprawling hotel compounds. However these are almost always reasonably expensive. A far better way to stay is in "Pensiones" which are a broad equivalent of a bed and breakfast and are generally run by a local family which lives on the premises.

Alternatively Spain has a very well organised youth hostel network, REAJ is the Spanish hostel network and has information regarding over 200 hostels throughout Spain. Most can only be booked from Spain but in general this isn’t a problem since they are rarely completely full. If you are travelling during a festival or other major holiday it might be worth phoning ahead a few days early though."

Answer 4

Barcelona...Costa Brava...

Answer 5

I live in Tarifa, Spain. I have seen much of this country and it is great. if you are party animals you should go to Barcelona or even better Madrid. I've had a lot of fun there. If you like visiting interesting places, come to this area. Here you can book a room in any place and visit Costa Del Sol from south to north or from here you can go visit Alhambrada for example. It is a magical place full of tradition. This area ( Andalucía) is, by me, the most beautiful place in Spain...

Answer 6

The Javea Peninsula (known as Marina Alta in Spain)

I guess this answer is slightly biased as this is where I live but having travelled the entire length of Spains coast 3 times we allways came back to this area. June is a great time to visit when tempreture is perfect, all touristy type things are in full flow if thats your thing, but the main throng of tourists havnt yet arrived. Access is great with the low cost airlines flying to Valencia in the north of the region and Alicante in the south.

The Javea Peninsula (known as Marina Alta in Spain) stretches from Gandia in the north to Alicante in the south. Its major towns and resorts are well serviced by the A7 motorway and N332 coast road.

Whilst Benidorm to the south perhaps conjures up one view of Spain, the smaller and quieter resorts, towns, and villages of the Javea peninsula have retained their charm and character and made this area a magnet for the more discerning visitor to Spain.

The beautiful, unspoilt coastline between Denia and Gandia is renowned for its 22 kilometres of long sandy beaches whilst the coast from Denia to Altea is punctuated with small rocky coves and sandy bays.

Away from the coast there is a proliferation of villages offering a peaceful sedate style of living set against a background of beautiful mountains and valleys filled with citrus and olive groves. The area is typified by good wine, good food, and good life. Sit back relax and let the world pass by.

The Costa Blanca is the perfect location for that “new beginning” and there is no wonder more and more visitors simply fall in love with the variety, tranquillity, culture and lifestyle of this delightful, healthy coastline. Here life is that little bit slower, its people are generous to a fault, and you will see a friendliness not found in some of the other Costa locations. The medics will tell you that the healthier diet, cleaner air and higher warmer temperatures give you a quality of life we all need after a lifetime of work and labours.



Ten Reasons why People choose the Javea Peninsula  

Warm summers, mild winters and an average 320 days of sunshine per year

A wonderful combination of quiet Spain (sandy beaches, rocky coves and sleepy towns) with vibrant Spain close by (cosmopolitan resorts and big Cities)

Traditional Spanish villages standing amidst stunning mountain scenery, yet only minutes from the coast

Access to the region is excellent. By air through the international airports of Valencia and Alicante, by road from any part of Europe via the A-7, by high speed trains running the length of the coast from north to south, and by sea through the ports of Alicante, Valencia, Gandia or Denia.

Within 20 minutes of the coast you will find many villages offering tranquillity and peaceful living against a background of mountains, orange and lemon orchards and olive groves
