Spain tailor made holidays
Explore some of Spain’s most authentic locations. We focus on a selection of Spanish towns, villages and islands that are simply spectacular. Often we think of long haul destinations when it comes to our annual holidays without realising that perhaps some of those dreamy remote islands or historic towns we have in mind can be a lot closer than what we think?
It is impossible to feature every corner of Spain but we can certainly advice you on some very special places to visit, whether in Spain main land or in one of its islands. Whether a self drive holiday or a multi centre holiday, a week relaxing in a boutique hotel in a remote island or a ski holiday, the options are endless. Easter time is a special time to visit South of Spain. Seeing the religious processions that happen during Easter is a unique experience. During summer time, there are lots of festivals and ferias taking place. All outdoors of course, and very traditional. We can always offer expert advice and book all your travel arrangements with plenty of flexibility and most importantly, offering a full ATOL protection.

Best time to visit Spain
April, May and June are perfect months to visit Spain, particularly South of Spain. Canary Islands enjoy lovely weather all year round and cities such as Malaga as well but places in the North like Barcelona or San Sebastian can be cold in autumn and winter months. Balearic Islands enjoy glorious weather also in spring. Summers in Spain can be very hot.
