Savour the Spanish flavours

If you fancy yourself a bit of a foodie wanting to learn more about Spanish cuisine, don’t miss out on the chance to experience one of the many food tours you’ll find across the country. Let experienced guides whisk you around your resort to discover the best of local and national Spanish cuisine.

Unleash your inner dancing queen (or king)

Whether you’re seeking the laughter of Benidorm’s cabarets, flamenco classes in Barcelona, or just a night on the tiles in Lloret de Mar, Spain’s nightlife scene is one of the best in the world, so don’t forget to pack your dancing shoes.

Get your adrenaline pumping

No matter your age, Spain has some of the best theme parks in Europe for you to visit during your trip. From the thrills of Salou’s PortAventura World to the historic adventure of Benidorm’s Terra Mitica, make it a day to remember by tackling one of these fun-filled parks.

Take a tour of a Spanish winery

Those who like to sample a glass of wine from time to time will know that some of the best wine is made in Spain. There are plenty of wineries that you can discover across the country, but some hot spots for Spanish wineries include west of Barcelona and north of Murcia.

Visit the old towns

Our favourite Spanish resorts are more than just the beaches, hotels and sunshine. Check out the Spanish old towns, such as Marbella Old Town, Benidorm Old Town and Murcia Old Town - where you can wander the charming streets and take in the beauty of the historic buildings and quaint cafes.

Experience the beautiful game in Spain

It’s hard to not get swept up in the Spanish passion for football so take the opportunity to see what it’s like behind the scenes at FC Barcelona’s iconic Camp Nou, the 3rd largest football stadium in the world. If you’re lucky enough to be in town during footie season, why not treat yourself and join in the fun by watching a live game.

Things to do in Spain for families

Costa Brava holidays and trips to Tenerife often come out on top when it comes to family favourite destinations. There’s no wrong answer when you’re asking where’s best for families in Spain, though. It all comes down to things to do, doesn’t it? Salou on the Costa Dorada is a great choice if you’ve got some budding thrill-seekers on your hands. Children of all ages will love the PortAventura theme park here. Further adrenaline-pumping rides can be found in the five themed zones of Terra Mitica in Benidorm or Sol Kathmandu in Magaluf. Prefer your slides with a side of splashing? Try Siam Park waterpark in Costa Adeje for an amazing array of swimming pools and flumes.

For more relaxed family time together, taking a tour of the local area can be a great option that’s both fun and educational. Timanfaya National Park in Lanzarote is the ideal backdrop to learn about nature – this unique landscape has even doubled for alien worlds as a filming location for Doctor Who!

Things to do in Spain for couples

Spain’s love language is all about romantic sunsets and laying side by side on sun loungers. Simply put, this country is the ideal match for a couples holiday on the beach. Photogenic Spain offers plenty of selfie opportunities, but taking in the vista from the Balcon del Mediterraneo in Benidorm is worthy of your Insta feed for sure – you’ll find it in the Place del Castell gardens, offering panoramic views of the surrounding beauty. Other iconic holiday snap spots include Barcelona's Sagrada Familia and Tenerife’s El Teide – the highest mountain in Spain.

Taking time for the two of you is key to a memorable romantic escape, and exploring hand-in-hand is one of the best ways to enjoy each other’s company abroad. Ibiza Town’s historic Old Town is a warren of intimate restaurants and cute boutiques to discover. We also recommend the fishing village roots and tucked-away coves of Majorca resorts like Cala D’Or and Palma.

Things to do in Spain for groups

When it comes to stag dos, hen parties and mates escapes, Spain will spoil you for things to do and places to stay. Benidorm is built for good times in the sunshine, whether it’s the famous strip of nightclubs, karaoke bars and home-from-home pubs, or the banana boats at the beach. San Antonio in Ibiza is another Spanish party hot spot.

Spain is a football nation and, if you love the beautiful game, it has plenty of stadiums and top-notch clubs to visit. The big one has to be Barcelona; peek behind the scenes at FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou – the biggest football stadium in Europe. You can even take a guided tour of the changing rooms, pitch and the club’s historic museum. Ground-hoppers are encouraged to visit local football grounds wherever you visit in Spain – it’s a fantastic way to meet the locals, and you might even get a group discount on tickets if you book with your squad!

Things to do in Spain for foodies

One word: tapas. Spain’s food scene is a Mediterranean marvel, with sumptuous sharing plates and fresh, flavourful seafood galore. We recommend seeking out a chiringuito as soon as you can after checking in to your hotel. These special Spanish beach bars often offer the best atmosphere and the most authentic taste of local cuisine that you can find anywhere in the country. Sommeliers – wine lovers to you and me – will be in heaven when they learn of the award-winning vineyards and wineries that Spain has to offer. Cava – the Spanish answer to champagne – is a must-try tipple at Codorníu, which is located close enough to Barcelona for a sophisticated day trip. When it comes to local delicacies, many regions of Spain have their own signature dishes or twists on classic flavours. Canarian cooking is a prime example of this – be sure to sample as much of the menu as possible.
