The culture of Spain is very diversified, as you can see. Especially Andalusia, the country of flamenco, can provide with interesting sights and traditions.  And Granada, the capital of the same named community is a pearl.

The city offers a lot more than the Alhambra, sunny Granada weather and wonderful sights  along the windy streets: it has a rich history and culture as a site of a fight in the past, the Battle of Granada. But what could be of special interest for you is that tapas in Granada are usually free when you buy a drink. This is typical for the south of Spain and you should absolutely try the local Granada cuisine!

If you like to enjoy wonderful parks and gardens during your Spain holidays in Granada, there are also a lot of them in Granada. The most famous of course is the garden of Alhambra and Generalife in Granada, but also the garden Carmen de los Mártires is worth a visit.

And last but not least, the garden of the University of Granada is also a sight in Spain that shouldn't be missed (and is by the way regarded as one of the best student cities), as it offers a time for recreation and relaxation and you can easily access it from your hotel in Granada.

You see that this city is beautiful and rich in culture and has one of the most famous and wonderful sights in Spain, so the next time you are in Andalusia, make sure to visit the Alhambra Granada during your Spain holidays!

The sunny province of Alicante in the community of Valencia offers interesting history and a perfect location at the Mediterranean coast and is therefore a good solution for family holidays in Alicante Spain!

Alicante is located directly at the Costa Blanca in Spain, and has a rich history and ancient sites to visit. So besides the sunny Alicante weather you can also enjoy visiting the sites and exploring Alicante's history, including Greek and Phonician settlements.

The Alicante airport also makes the city perfect for holidays in Spain, with easy arrivals possible and a lot of good Alicante hotels where you can enjoy your stay. There are also ferries available bringing you to the Balearic Islands if you wish to and a good transportation network throughout the city. Families also benefit from unique family holidays in Alicante, because the City of Lights (the meaning of Alicante or Alacant) offers you plenty of choices.

So let's focus on the attractions in the city, besides the Alicante weather and the Costa Blanca of course!

Alicante itself has a historical city centre you can explore, starting from the Rambla de Alicante working your way through the streets decorated with palm trees. The old quarter of Alicante is very stunning to wander around in; there are a lot of traditional bars and pubs hidden in the small and winding streets.

The squares in Alicante are also wonderful to see, so remember to visit the Plaza de Quijano and the Plaza de la Santisima Faz. There is also a museum, the Nativity Scene Museum Alicante, where you can see and observe Christmas themed objects from all over the world.

For the history interested, there is also the Ermita de San Roque, an hermitage which was built in the 16^th century. Of course, probably the most famous sight of Alicante is the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, the famous castle on the mount Benacantil. Usually you can see it from your Alicante hotel in the city pretty well! Situated in an height of 166 m, the medieval Santa Barbara Castle in the Mediterranean region gives you an impressing view over the City of Lights. In the castle itself you can see different rooms and halls, each of them has its own history to tell.

Of course you should not miss Alicante parks during your holidays in Spain! There are a lot of gardens and parks in Alicante, offering you shelter and recreation from an adventurous day. The most famous parks include the Canalejas near the Explanada de España and the Palmeral Park close to the Castle of Santa Barbara, Alicante.

For fun family holidays in Alicante, you should see the wonderful Alicante beaches, which with the lovely Alicante weather and climate offer you a unforgettable experience. Because the city is directly located at the Costa Blanca, you don't have to search too long for the white sand beaches in the city.

The most known beach is probably El Postiguet, directly in the city with a Blue Flag status. You can benefit from numerous water sports and activities here and of course just enjoying the sun shining in Alicante. There is also another Blue Flag beach, La Albufereta beach, where you can also explore the sands of Alicante and swim and enjoy the Mediterranean sea.

You see, everyone's taste should be pleased if you decide to spend your family holidays in Alicante, Spain. Enjoy your stay with your family and visit the city of lights at the Costa Blanca!

A perfect Costa Dorada holiday is not the same without visiting Cambrils.

Cambrils is a town directly located at the Costa Dorada, Spain. It lies in the Catalonia region of Spain.
Deciding to book a Costa Dorada hotel in Cambrils means experiencing a wonderful holiday time in one of the most popular locations along the coast.

Cambrils is a city with Roman origin and because of this there are still some signs showing the heritage, such as the architecture. But the city is still growing today, mainly due to the increasing tourism.

Family holiday is also a good reason to book accommodation in Cambrils, because it is not very far away from PortAventura Salou, so you can book the tickets for that in advance. If you think Salou is too active, Cambrils offers you a calm and relaxing location where you can replenish your health and soak up the sun!

The port of Cambrils is interesting to visit; if you like seeing boats and yachts you should absolutely see them at night or in the evening when it's dark. The harbor is illuminated and this makes an absolutely impressing sight!

Furthermore you have to visit one of the two parks in Cambrils, or if you can both. They are the Parc del Pescador (Fisher's park) and the Parc del Pinaret. Both parks are really huge and act as an oasis to enjoy your visit, to take a break from everything and to take a walk along the beautiful structure of the park. In the Parc del Pescador, Cambrils, there are many different types of plants and trees and a wonderful pond where you can stay.

Sometimes there are also musical events and festivals you shouldn't miss. The park del Pinaret is also stunning, it has also a lot of different trees and plants and many places where you can just sit down and relax.

For vacationers who are interested in Cambrils history, there is an archaeological site with ruins of an ancient Roman villa. Propably around 2000 years old, this ruin is like a portal that connects the past with today. Don't miss this! History-interested people should also visit the museums in Cambrils. There is the Museu Molí de les Tres Eres and the Museu Agrícola de Cambrils, which are both part of the Museu d'Història de Cambrils.

If you have a Cambrils holiday rental that is close to the sanctuary of the Virgin Mary (Ermita de la Mare), you should also see that. Next to the hermitage there is a tower which is a Cultural Asset of National Interest. Another tower in Cambril that you should visit during you Cambrils holiday is the watch tower Torre del Port. It was originally build to watch out for pirates (which was a large risk for towns around the coast). It is the characteristic of Cambrils.

You see, you have a lot of possibilities in Cambrils, for families as well as for couples or friends. Families who want to avoid the fuller location of Salou can book Costa Dorada hotels in Cambrils and the tickets Port Aventura, which is close.

Couples can also book a Cambrils hotel and enjoy their time together in the many romantic spots Cambrils offers. And friends can of course also have a good time at the Cambrils beach and bars and clubs along the city at night.

If you want to experience a wonderful seafood dinner during your next Costa Brava holiday, you should consider prawn eating in Palamós. The fishing town is located in the Girona province and is a popular destination for Costa Brava holidays as it is directly at the sea and offers a wonderful sight!

Fishing in Palamós is very important for the town; it is the most important sector besides the manifacture of cork and of course tourism. The ship fleet is therefore very important for the region. But what makes this small fishing town famous are their prawns, or gambas. When you think about prawn eating in Palamós, you can be sure to have the biggest and most delicious prawns in the Costa Brava.

The red colored gambas have a unique flavor and therefore are well-known in Catalonia and the local fishers carry loads and loads of them back home. The restaurants and fish-shop owners buy their fish and seafood directly from the fishers every day and so you can eat delicious seafood dishes from Palamós in the evening, freshly caught and made! Try to find a Costa Brava holiday home in Palamós that is near the port, so you can watch the ships leave early in the morning and return in the evening.

Prawn eating in Palamós, Costa Brava is of course possible in one of the many local restaurants. A famous restaurant is "La Gamba" (what a suitable name!) and it is located at the Placa Sant Pere, directly at the harbor. Try to be there a little bit in advance, as I mentioned it is quite famous! But in case you prefer something else, around the port are many bars and restaurants that offer quality seafood dishes too.

But of course instead of going to a good restaurant, you can try to cook by yourself! If you buy fresh prawns or other fish from the shop, you can prepare and cook them in your Costa Brava apartment or hotel! Prices for gambas differ widely, depending on many circumstances. But now that the summer months are slowly over, prawn prices are much cheaper. This is only another reason to book Costa Brava Accommodation now!

But gambas are not the only thing Palamos offers: It also home of Catalonias oldest football club, Palamós CF! The football club Palamos was established in 1898, and although it is not too successful, football is still popular in Palamos.

In case you prefer another Costa Brava holiday destination, you can also look for an apartment or hotel in Girona. It is not too far and you have the possibility to visit Palamos for a day to enjoy the gambas.

Furthermore, L'Ametlla de Mar has a large sailing club for those of you who want to spend your Costa Dorada vacation on a boat. You can also walk around the beautiful harbor (one of the most important harbors in the region) and look at the sea.

  It is best to book a Costa Dorada hotel directly in L'Ametlla de Mar so you don't have to travel a lot and can see the most of L'Ametlla. But of course, it is also possible to visit the town by train. You can either travel from Valencia or from Barcelona by train, but the Reus airport is only 35 km away.

After you arrived, you can immediately see the wonderful coastline which is about 14 km long. Along the coast there are cliffs and the typical pine trees giving L'Ametlla its true Mediterranean feeling. It is a quiet and calm town perfect for those who want to avoid crowded beaches.

You absolutely have to visit the Museum of popular Ceramics when you are spending your Costa Dorada vacation in L'Ametlla, it is really interesting to see. The museum has two floors full of ceramics from whole Spain and it's the largest museum in Europe with its 4500 pieces.

Not far away is also La Cala de Sant Jordi, another fishing town located at the coastline. Remember to visit this town as well, because there are ruins of an historical castle, the Castle Sant Jordi. If you like history and religion, it is interesting to know that in this castle was the Order of Sant Jordi, which is known to have been the only part of the Templar Knights in Catalonia. Built on the ruins, there is a renovated castle nowadays.
 

What is interesting for families is that L'Amitlla de Mar is not very far awar from Port Aventura Park, also located on the Costa Dorada.
