Warm Autumn Breaks in Spain
September 26th, 2006
In Spain you can enjoy a nice warm autumn break in any of the following destinations: the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands or Almeria.
The Balearic Islands is an archipelago of 5 islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera y Cabrera) located in the east of Valencia. Thanks to its perfect climate (sun and warm temperatures during the whole year), it has become one of the most famous destinations for tourists in Spain. Tourists can not only enjoy crystalline waters in one of the 300 beaches of the archipelago, but also a wide range of activities: water-skiing, scuba-diving, fishing, water parks, etc. The Balearic Islands also offers a great variety of landscapes: beaches, dunes, untouched coves, forests, etc. We encourage you to travel round the archipelago and observe the flora and the fauna. And to give your holidays a cultural touch, you can also visit one of the most emblematic buildings: the Bellver Castle and the Arab baths in Mallorca, the Cathedral (La Seu) in Menorca and the Llotja (a wonderful Gothic building) in Ibiza. Nightlife in the archipelago is pretty busy. Restaurants, bars, clubs and casinos will be happy to welcome you until the very early hours of the morning.
Another alternative is the Canary Islands. Located off the north-western coast of Africa (Morocco and Western Sahara), the Canary Islands is an archipelago made up of 7 volcanic islands: El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura y Lanzarote. With an annual average temperature of 22 degrees Celsius (71.6 degrees Fahrenheit), it is a great destination for late summer holidays. Like the Balearic Islands, the archipelago offers a wide range of fun activities (beach, fishing, diving, kite surf, etc), nature and culture. We encourage you to tour the archipelago and discover wonderful beaches such as the Playa de los Cristianos – a beach of golden sand and crystal clear water situated next to a picturesque village on the island of Tenerife. In addition, take advantage of your holidays on the Canary Islands to discover the delicious traditional cuisine of the archipelago. Fish, meat, cheese, honey, pastries, wines – the experience will be very pleasant!
If you prefer to stay on the Spanish peninsula, you can also reserve your break holiday in Almeria. Located in Andalucia – South of Spain – you will be able to discover the whole southern coast as well as regional traditions (flamenco, traditional cuisine, etc). If you are looking for beaches offering lots of activities, we recommend you to go to the Poniente Almeriense coast. For a more peaceful holiday, you should go to the Almeria-Cabo de Gata-Nijar and the Levante Almeriense areas to enjoy the atmosphere of picturesque fishing villages.
