Fantastic parks in barcelona
The spectacular Park Guell
The Guell Park is the work of the great modernist Antoni Gaudi; its aspect helped the park to be designated a World Heritage by the UNESCO. However, the park raises a series of comments and problems because some simply do not admire the architectural genius of Antoni Gaudi. The park was designed to be a private estate belonging to the rich Guell, but the project was never finished, so in the year 1922 the park became a public space. Of great beauty and importance are the main entrance and the Room of the Hundred Columns. You have to visit the park because it is clearly one of Antoni Gaudi’s masterpieces.
Park Ciudadella
The Ciudadella Park is one of the most popular in Barcelona due to its many attractions; it is the place that hosts an important number of art and culture museums as well as an artificial lake which offers you the possibility to relax on a boat. The park was originally a star shaped fortress built for Felipe V. 1715 was the year when the fortress was built, but after a long siege (as you all probably know, the history of Spain is a very agitated one) it was destroyed. However, the person who completely destroyed the Citadel and put the foundation of the new park was General Prim. 1888 was the year when the park hosted a Universal Exhibition, so many of the monuments that you see today were built in 1888 for that specific occasion. While there, make sure you visit all the gardens and see all the fountains because many of them were designed by Antoni Gaudi in his early years of life.
Park Labyrinth and Park Guinardo
Not as famous as Park Guell and Park Ciudadella, but at least as beautiful as them is the Labyrinth Park. This park was designed in 1791 and it was built on levels, each level with its own stairways and pavilions. The gardens of this park are decorated with statues showing mythological figures, so you have to visit it. The Guinardo Park looks like a wild place in the heart of Barcelona as it resembles a forest.
The Gardens of the Pedralbes Palace
These gardens were built in the typical royal style, very classic and with lots of wonderfully smelling flower beds.villa blanes You have to visit them if you want to nourish your senses!

A history lesson in valencia
The beautiful city of Valencia
Valencia is the third city in dimension in Spain but it is one of the most popular among tourists from all the corners of the world. Millions of people choose to visit Valencia during one of their holidays because they are all attracted by the beauty of this amazing city and by its spectacular history. As the majority of the cities in Spain, Valencia is a city that had to suffer a lot throughout the centuries as many different cultures wanted to rule over it. All these cultures left their fingerprints on the streets of the city, its buildings and monuments, its culture, customs and traditions and even on its cuisine. You have to see it with your own eyes if you want to understand the essence of a Spanish city and if you want to spend a holiday like no other before.
The history of the city
The history of Valencia starts with the Iberians; the Iberians founded this fantastic city but they could not rule over it without having some obstacles in their way. The Romans, the Greeks, the Muslims and the Visigoths, all these cultures wanted at a certain time or another in the past to rule over the city and they all managed to do it. However, out of all the cultures that passed through Valencia at a certain time in the past, it is the Romans and the Muslims that influenced it the most. In fact, for a very long period of time, the Muslim population was overwhelming the inhabitants of the city. 1238 is one of the most important years in the history of Valencia as it represents the year when the city was conquered by the Christians with King James I as leader. The city became a kingdom and the results are still felt today, as it is an autonomous city having its own institutions. Starting with the middle Ages, the periods of growth of Valencia were alternating with those when the city was in decline, so this was probably one of the most difficult periods in the history of the city. The period was extremely difficult due to the fact that the city was incapable of finding the balance it needed. location costa blanca However, starting with the 1700s, everything started to relax and the last two hundred years transformed Valencia into the beautiful Spanish city that is always prepared to receive its visitors.

The art of flamenco
A Spanish attraction
Spain is renowned worldwide for being the country where you can never get bored; it is also a world renowned for being a country that fights to keep its traditions and its customs alive, because it is one of the reasons why so many millions of people from all the corners of the globe visit it every year.
A short history of a big art
Flamenco is one of the most famous and popular Spanish traditions and something which the Spaniards identify. When you hear the flamenco beats, you immediately feel the pure essence of the country and its special atmosphere, which is a very relaxed one. The art of flamenco is always ready to charm the tourists with three forms: singing, dancing and guitar. It is believed that the gypsies introduced it in Spain or at least played one of the most important roles in its appearance. However, the exact origins are very difficult to discover, because Spain is one of those countries that many cultures fought for, including the Romans, the Phoenicians, the Tartessos and the Moors. All these cultures left their fingerprints on the country and they somehow left their fingerprints on every little thing that forms the country, including its traditions and its customs. The Golden Age of Flamenco, which took place between 1869 and 1910, is the age when the art suffered its most important transformations, the age when it became indispensable for every Spaniard. It was in the cafes that flamenco developed and suffered the progress, those ‘’cafes cantantes’’ where even the flamenco dance appeared. The Opera Flamenca marks the period between 1910 and 1955, a period when the easier types of flamenco music appeared. However, it is 1915 the year that made Flamenco famous in the entire world and with the year of 1955, the art started to cross a period of so-called Renaissance, as the famous and popular dancers and singers started to appear.
The modern shows
Millions and millions of tourists from all the corners of the world visit Spain every year attracted by the flamenco; everywhere you go in Spain, any city you decide to visit, there surely is a bar or a pub where you can spend some nice pleasant hours watching the live shows and performances given by the flamenco artists.ferienhäuser costa blanca It is a very special experience that you cannot live anywhere else in this world, so try it at least once! I am sure that you will not regret your choice.

A short barcelona history lesson
The amazing past
The history of this city is a very agitated one and this same history has made it the way tourists see it today, but it also forced Barcelona to stay in the back and shadow of other cities for centuries and centuries. It is believed that the Carthaginians decided to found a new city, that is Barcelona in 230 BC but the Visigoths and then the Muslims invaded and tried to conquer it. The Muslims ruled the city until 801 AD, the year when they were removed from its rule; the date coincides with the one when the true history of the city began. The Catalans are the ones who took over the control of Barcelona and in the 14th century, Barcelona was even ruling a small empire by itself; this empire included Sicily, Valencia, Malta, Sardinia, even the Balearic Islands and some regions belonging to France. In the 15th century the city was hit with the plague, so its strength was lost; 1473 was the year when a horrible siege devastated and destroyed the biggest part of the city. 1714 was the year of another siege and devastation, so it is a wonder how the city was reborn from its own ashes and managed to survive and look like it does today. In 1778, Barcelona started its commerce with the Americas, so the flourishing period started to show its face to the city.
Wonderful periods
The Industrial Revolution, the Romantic Movement in Europe, the Renaissance, all these put their fingerprints on the city and helped it grow. A demographic explosion was suffered by Barcelona between the 1800s and the 1900s and the city grew even more in size and number of inhabitants, so new buildings and monuments were built. The years of the World War I and World War II were difficult as they were for entire Europe, but Barcelona knew how to fight and how to survive as it had a vast experience in its past. Franco was the person who blackened long days in the history of the city as he tried to impose his beliefs and rules by flooding Barcelona and the entire region with poor immigrants coming from Andalusia.ferienhaus costa blanca For a city that was learning how to grow by working, this was a very harsh slap, but it knew one more time how to manage the situation, so the city that you are invited to visit today is a spectacular one!

The first place that you have to visit is the Alicante Castle. The castle is the work of the Moors dating back to the 10th century and it is a spectacular place. It stands on the top of a mountain but a walk up the hill is not recommendable; take instead the lift built in the edge of the cliff. When you reach the top of the hill, the view that opens in front of your eyes is breathtaking. The second thing that you have to do in Alicante is to take a tour of the city on the funny Segway.

The restaurants that you find along the promenade are absolutely fantastic and they all serve delicious dishes containing fresh fish. The Marina is not only the place where you have the opportunity to see some spectacular landscapes, but also the place where you can have a lot of fun drinking and dancing. The last thing that you have to do in ferienwohnung lloret de mar Alicante is to go on a relaxing walk along the promenade after you have tasted the wonderful dishes.

The superb malaga
Going on holiday
Have you ever thought about Spain as your holiday destination? If you have not done it so far, I strongly recommend that you do. Spain is not only one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, but it is one of the most beautiful and most attractive ones in the entire world. Once you step on Spanish land, you completely fall in love with everything that surrounds you; imagine the picturesque landscapes that seem to be taken from a fairytale story, the modern cities where the architectural, cultural and historical heritages are so rich that you need at least a few days to get to their essence and the cozy and charming small villages where the traditions are still alive! Is there anything more you can dream of?
Choosing Spanish holiday destinations
Spain has so many places that deserve your attention and so many cities that have to be on your list that choosing one for the holiday destination can become a very difficult problem. However, if you need a recommendation, here is one: Malaga. Who hasn’t heard about Malaga, the wonderful Spanish port that has about 560,000 inhabitants? It stands among the most populated cities in Spain but do not let yourself be scared by this detail because Malaga is not a very crowded place. The place where Malaga is situated makes it a very picturesque city: it lies at the foothills of Axarquia, right between the two rivers of Guadalhorce and Guadalmedina, so prepare yourself for wonderful views and scenic landscapes!
The history of Malaga
Malaga had to suffer a lot along the centuries because it represented a point of interest. It was the Phoenicians who founded what they called Malaka in 1000 BC but they only ruled the city for six centuries, then it was conquered by the Romans. The Romans were followed by the Visigoths and the Moors and the series of conquerors finally ended in 1487 when it became part of the Christian rule. In the 1960s, the tourism industry started to flourish in Malaga, so the airport was built and connections to ferienhaus spanien Morocco were introduced. Many means of transportation connect Malaga to other parts of the country, so it is an accessible destination. When you get there, make sure you visit the historical centre in order to see the beautiful Moorish fortress and the spectacular Gibralfaro Castle. Malaga is also the birthplace of the great Pablo Picasso, so keep this is mind when you go there! Enjoy your stay!

The hot lanzarote
Visiting the famous Island of Fire
Lanzarote is popular among tourists with this name: Island of Fire. It is a very special Canary Island, one of the smallest, but very close to the wonderful African continent. The name of the island comes from the volcanic landscape which seems almost surreal; this is how beautiful it is! It has about ninety beaches, all great for relaxation and its unique feature is that it offers a series of attractions that can be categorized as unusual. The Spanish crown first conquered the island in the 1400s, but the most important event for it happened in 1730, when a powerful volcanic eruption completely changed the aspect of the island and enlarged its surface.
The attractions of a beautiful island
Lanzarote is one of the most visited Spanish islands. Among its top attractions, the National Park of Timanafya occupies the first place, with around one million visitors every year; people visit the park attracted by the beauty of the landscapes, the purity of the nature and the immense peace and calm it offers. Its location near the Tropic of Cancer makes the island enjoy a wonderful climate all year long, so tourists can visit it in any month they want as the weather is surely not an obstacle. The main resorts of the island represent another important advantage; they are three in number: Costa Teguise, the beautiful Playa Blanca and the spectacular Puerto Del Carmen. If you ever decide to visit Lanzarote, keep in mind the fact that it does not matter which resort you choose for accommodation: you have to see them all! One other big advantage of ferienwohnungen spanien Lanzarote is its aspect: the island has managed to remain unspoilt by the mass tourism and it keeps its natural aspect, that volcanic aspect that attracts and charms so many people from all the corners of the world. Cesar Manrique had a very strong word to say in this respect: he fought to outlaw the chaotic construction of houses and hotels. For example, if you want a holiday house in Lanzarote, do not bother about choosing the color: you are obliged to paint it white! Lanzarote is not a place where ‘’boredom’’ has something to say; in addition to all the attractions mentioned above, tourists also have the opportunity to visit the Volcanic Park as well as the breathtaking underground gardens and lagoon. That is impressive, isn’t it?

El Escorial has one more attraction: the famous location en espagne Valley of the Fallen. The Valley is the home of an impressive monument built in the honor of those who lost their lives in the cruel Spanish Civil War.

Andalucia as a holiday destination
Why Andalucía?
This vast but beautiful region started raising the interest of tourists from all over the world only a few years ago. To be honest, I do not understand why they did not realize how wonderful it is until now. The southern part of Spain offers an ideal climate and breathtaking landscapes, not easy to find in other countries, so visit Andalucía; you will definitely fall in love with it!
The attractions of a spectacular region
Rural tourism started to develop here in the past few years and it is now possible to rent villas for a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and the bustle of the big cities, even far away from other tourists, in areas which are so remote that they seem unexplored yet by man. Even though the areas which attract the attention of those who want privacy are remote, they are accessible as two new airports have recently opened: Granada and Jerez. The ‘’Pueblos Blancos’’ represent another important attraction of Andalucía with its unspoilt traditions and customs and its way of life that has not changed too much along the centuries. Casares or Gaucin wait for their tourists with their special architecture and unique way of life, coordinated by a very relaxed atmosphere. You can spend a few charming hours here, enjoying the tasty tapas and the spectacular views. Next on the list of attractions comes the flamenco; Andalucía is in fact the place where this famous and full of passion tradition was born. It is also the region where the bullfights were born; Ronda hosts the oldest Spanish bullring as well as the museum dedicated to this tradition that makes the adrenaline pump into your veins ferienhäuser costa blanca . The architectural pearl of Andalucía is definitely the Alhambra Palace which you will find in Granada; this is the most exquisite example of Moorish architecture in Spain. Nature lovers will adore Andalucía as it is the Spanish region with the most impressive wildlife; it is probably one of the few places in the country where you can see Egyptian Vultures, Peregrine Falcons or Red Kites in their natural habitat. As it is an unspoilt region, thousands of footpaths leading to picturesque places wait for those who enjoy spending time in nature, walking or climbing. I am absolutely sure that the more you visit the region, the more you will want to get back at least once in your lifetime!

The wonders of catalonia
A spectacular holiday in a spectacular province
Catalonia is perhaps one of the most popular provinces in Spain, due to its capital, Barcelona. The fantastic Costa Brava is another important attraction in this region, with its wide beaches bathed in warm sun all year long. However, if the province has so many attractive beaches, this does not mean that the high mountain ranges are not part of the landscape. The Pyrenees guard the province in the northern part of it, Montserrat is one of the most curious formations in Catalonia and in Spain, while the inactive volcanoes such as Garrotxa attract millions of tourists from all over the world because of the spectacular landscapes.
Catalonia assures a breath-taking holiday, because it has a few typical characteristics which make it distinctive from the other Spanish provinces. The unique language, Catalonian, and the unique customs and traditions with very few elements similar to the typical Mediterranean ones, represent another important advantage of the province. Catalonia is definitely a very cosmopolitan province, probably one of the most modern and futuristic in Spain and this is the reason why it is so popular among tourists. The coast is an important attraction for those who love water sports - and whatever the type of water sport you want to try, you have the facilities available in Catalonia. The modern cities and architecture, the picturesque natural monuments and the spectacular facilities will guarantee you a great holiday.
Catalonia’s attractions
Barcelona is not only the most popular city in Catalonia, but in the whole of Spain. It is the capital of the province and a place where Gothic architecture has made its home. Some of the most exquisite examples of Gothic architecture are available here. Visit it and convince yourself about the beauty of the city. Costa Brava is the Spanish coast where some of the most beautiful landscapes are seen, a coast with picturesque steep cliffs and spectacular coves which offer romantic scenery. Girona, the historical city of the province, is a city renowned for the Jewish location blanes Quarter which has to be on your sightseeing list. Costa Dorada is not as famous as the Costa Brava, but it also deserves your attention, because of its outstanding beauty. Tarragona is famed for the ruins belonging to the Roman Empire, so make sure that it is also on your list.
Visit Catalonia and enjoy your vacation.

A unique holiday in malaga
Beautiful holidays in Spain
For those who want to go on a special holiday but have no idea about which destination to visit, Spain would be the perfect choice. The country is one of contrasts, but these contrasts give it a special flavor that attracts millions of people from all over the world. Spain has shallow, crystal-clear waters and high mountains with snow-covered peaks. It has amazing, modern, even futuristic cities, but it also has small traditional fishing villages where the inhabitants fight to keep the customs and traditions of the country alive. One thing is certain in Spain: there is surely a corner of the country to fit your expectations and preferences, a corner that suits your tastes. Maybe, for you, this corner is Malaga.
What one should know about Malaga
Malaga is the capital city of the province with the same name, but the most important thing about it is that it is one of the most beautifully enchanting cities on the spectacular Costa del Sol. Malaga, the birthplace of the great Picasso, was founded by the Phoenicians, but the Romans and the Moors also ruled the city and influenced its culture.
Sightseeing in Malaga
The main attractions of the city are its two castles. The special feature of the Alcazaba Castle, which is actually a Moorish fortress dating from the 11th century, is that it reminds visitors of the imposing Alhambra Palace in Granada. Gibralfaro Castle, built at the beginning of the 14th century, seems to dominate the city from the top of its hill. The Roman Theater, discovered in 1951 next to the Alcazaba, is one of the few remains from the Roman era still in existence. Other important attractions include the Malaga Cathedral, one of the best examples of Renaissance architecture in Spain, and the Picasso Museum, which celebrates the life and works of the great artist and showcases the house where he was born. These are just a few of the places that deserve your attention.
Accommodation, eating and drinking
One of the major attractions and advantages of Malaga is that it offers very inexpensive vakantiewoning costa brava accommodations, so treat yourself to a bit of luxury. The food is excellent, so make sure you try the fried fish; the drinks are spectacular as are the sweet wines of Malaga. If you are young and in search of fun, Malaga has a very active nightlife, so there is no chance of getting bored. Have fun!

A few tips for hiring cars in spain
Hiring a car
Spain is a country where tourism works perfectly; it has millions of tourists every year, people from all the corners of the world. Some of these tourists want to see more than the city they decided to visit, so they need to hire a car. Well, this might seem like an easy thing, but trust me: you need a few tips in order to avoid any unpleasant situation. The first thing that you have to pay attention to when hiring a car is to find out what types of facilities are included in the price and what types are not. You might be attracted by a wonderful price, but you should know that it can trick you because there is the possibility of that price not including the local taxes or the insurances.
What a rental should include
When you rent a car, make sure that the price includes things such as the airport taxes, a third party insurance for any unwanted situation, local taxes and breakdown costs and last but not the least, an unlimited mileage.
Important things
When you travel to Spain, keep in mind the fact that you will be in a country with days of over 40 degrees Celsius. This means that the air conditioning is a must for your rental, unless you want to die of heat. Those who travel with children will also have to hire the seats for an extra cost of €3 for a day. Take everything into consideration, even the amount of luggage you have! You will be surprised to realize that the same model of car differs in dimension from one back home. Another very important thing when hiring a car in a foreign country like ferienhaus costa blanca Spain is checking everything! Always double check the price, read the paperwork carefully, verify whether you really received the model you asked for. There is no over exaggeration when it comes to renting a car. You should even check the car for any small damage because there have been cases where tourists found themselves in very unpleasant situations. One other important thing for you, the foreign tourist: in Spain, you will have to drive a lot, especially if you want to see a big part of the country, so choose a diesel model because it will be cheaper. Good luck with your renting and enjoy the beauties of the country!

Spending Time in Huelva
A perfect destination for any type of tourist
Huelva is one of the Spanish provinces that hasn’t enjoyed too much attention from the government, so not many tourists know about its existence. This is a pity because Huelva is one of the treasures of Spain. It is a place suitable for any type of tourist due to its spectacular range of possibilities for entertainment. The Costa de Luz and the Donana Park, a reserve perfect for anyone who loves the wonders of nature, represent two of its most famous parts but not necessarily the most beautiful ones.

The attractions of a beautiful province
The landscape of Huelva is one of its most important attractions. It lies between the Guardiana River and beautiful Portugal, so the influences are very obvious.

It is understandable why so many people now feel attracted by Huelva. In the past, it didn’t raise much interest, so it now has many corners which haven’t been touched by anything that represents modern facilities. The Costa de Luz has so many large beaches covered with white sands close to shallow, clear blue waters that it seems like paradise has descended from heaven. The city of Huelva deserves a little bit of your attention, as archaeological finds have discovered that it is one of the oldest cities in location villa lloret Spain. A big attraction of the region is its traditional villages in which fishing is the main occupation. The atmosphere in these villages is very charming; there is something very peaceful about them that makes you want to go back at least one more time. Visit Huelva because it is truly one of the most beautiful provinces in Spain!

THE BEAUTIFUL GRANADA
