We are already in July and you still have no idea where to go on vacation? Don't get overwhelmed, you're not the only one. Here we are the Rober and the Lety, your last minute traveling consultants, to make your summer life easier. We have prepared a list with 8 destinations in Spain, each for a different type of traveler. We hope you recognize yourself in at least one of them!
There may be some things in Spain that don't work at all, but food ... food is the envy of the entire world! At any point in the Spanish geography you can enjoy your own and rich cuisine, but if we had to choose a destination for the most demanding foodie traveler, we would have no doubts: You have to go to the Basque Country! And why not take the opportunity to travel on a road trip like this?
The exit point has to be Bilbao, a city that has managed to perfectly combine gastronomy, culture and an overwhelming personality. But you can not miss small jewelry like Hondarribia, with its spectacular historic center, Lekeitio, Mutriku Y San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, very popular in recent years thanks to Games of Thrones.
And obviously at each stop you can put on your boots with some varied pintxos or a cod pil pil and toast for the trip with a glass of txacoli (that only at the end of the day, do not drive drunk!).
Tip: if you have a week of time, take the opportunity to also know the French Basque Country, a whole flat!
The Canary Islands are not only fortunate, they are also one of the wonders of our country, and visit the one you visit, you will find a thousand and one things to do. Of course, if you are looking for adventure, wild nature and beaches that leave you with your mouth open, Lanzarote is your place. Here are 5 essentials: the Cave of the Greens, thePlaya Mujeres, thePapagayo Beach, thePuddle of the Clicos and the Timanfaya National Park.
Tip: do you have more time? Then take a trip through the islands of Tenerife or Gran Canaria, they are a spectacle!
Already, we already know it. Most people don't fancy anything "locking themselves up" in a city in summer. But very careful, that the minority have our urban rights! We flirt through the big cities, discover cool corners, go to breakfast every day in a different place and kick the trendy neighborhoods (and not). So Barcelona is always a great option for us. And we are sure that we are not alone in this.
The 5 essentials of Barcelona in summer are wander through the historic center (Borne, Gothic and Raval neighborhoods), a dip in the urban beach of La Barceloneta, cultivate in one of their museums (like Picasso's, the impressive MNAC or the Macba), attend the light and sound show of the SourceMagic and end the day from bar to bar in the neighborhood of Gracia.
Tip: does the calorazo squeeze too much? Ducks to water! It will be on beaches ... and not only in the city: just get on a train and in a plis plas you will be in Sitges or somewhere cool on the Costa Brava. Here we give you a few ideas of getaways from Barcelona.
How beautiful is Cabo de Gata. And we know what we are talking about: this is where we spend long periods when we are in Spain. Almost from our window we see white villages dotted with bougainvillea (don't forget to visit Mojacar!), beaches and coves wild (here we tell you the 8 best), roads that cross deserts, Cactus huge ruins of castles and pictures of the most picturesque. Cabo de Gata is one of the great jewels of Spain. The question is not if you feel like coming, the question is when are you coming.
Tip: the name has bad marketing but Playa de los Muertos is the best in this area. To die (of love). Do not miss it.
Those who cannot go on vacation, tell them that you are not alone! Well almost. But this is a good thing! Do you stay in Madrid in summer? Look on the bright side: you will have the city for yourself. Take the opportunity to visit the museum you never went to, organize a picnic at the Retreat, enjoy the sunsets from the Temple of Debod, go brunch at that place you saw in La Latina, get lost in the center, go back to fall in love with her.
And this also applies to those of Cuenca, Albacete and Villarmentero de Campos: our cities and towns hide many stories and corners that you still don't know... you just need to look at them with other eyes.
Tip: the book "tourist will be you" has a few ideas to reconnect with your city or town. Check it out.
Do you feel like a total disconnection and tourism in rural areas? The region of Sanabria, which is located northwest of Zamora, has a great treasure: the Sanabria Lake, the largest glacier lake in all of Spain! But do not believe that all its attractions end here, you can meet Puebla de Sanabria, one of the most beautiful villages in Castilla y León, kick the area thanks to one (or several) of these trekkings and refuel energy tasting some of the specialties of the area.
Tip: if the body asks you for some gear (but not too much), come one day to meet Zamora!
Do you want to surprise your partner and organize a romantic and besucona week? Go to Galicia. Yes, to Galifornia. There are very good options for spas (Does that sound like that of La Toja?), movie islets (Do the Cies Islands sound like you?) And rich ashes with a ruler: first eat the octopus and then now, you make the octopus 😉
Tip: take your partner to enjoy the sunset in Finisterre and say “our love has reached the end of the world”. Of course, if you pull the cliff we assume no responsibilities.
Yes, traveling as a couple is cool. Peeeeeeero do it with your best friends too. And a lot. Give it to the love (even for a week). Our simple plan: go to the Cádiz Coast, sign up for a surf course, transform into little mermaids, have a few cold beers, “stay hungry” (eat fried fish), and “stay foolish” (rent a car and go explore the entire coast) ”. It will be an unforgettable trip!
Tip: do you feel like more? Consider crossing the border and reaching the Algarve! A region that is increasingly fashionable. Here we tell you some plans in the Algarve.
Do you recognize yourself in any of these types of travelers? What is your favorite destination?
