Why Spain is a perfect holiday destination in every season!

Let’s start with winter. There are those who leave the cold to go to even colder, getting the insurance ready for eventual broken limbs. Then there are those of us who are anxiously waiting for temperatures to go back into positive double digits. Instead of waiting, this year I decided to pack my bags and rent a holiday house in Spain. With two good friends. We took off with our laptops and decided to treat ourselves to a place where the sun shines during our dreary grey and rainy winter. We rented a villa, had lunch by the pool, took long walks in the sunshine and actually got some work done. A week later we were relaxed and suddenly, winter didn’t seem so endless. We played the remote working card, and it did the trick.

Springtime in the south of Spain and we’re looking at summer temperatures where we live. I haven’t tried it yet but anyone who’s been there will tell you that swimming pools are in use, bars are starting to open, and dress-code is summer clothing with a cardigan in the evening. And the flowers! Fragrant flowers around every corner, exuberant and lush green gardens showing off their finest season. The sea is still chilly but swimming pools are usually heated, not that there’s much need for that if you ask me. A holiday villa on the Costa del Sol doesn’t sound so bad while we wait for summer.

Need we mention summers in Spain? From spontaneous beach parties to exclusive night clubs, outdoor concerts and bars open until all hours. Looking for some peace and quiet? Many of our villas have absolutely huge gardens, where you can only hear the sound of silence, and nature. Bliss. And you’re never far from a bustling town, go spend the day at the beach, the long summer evenings in a white village, there is a plethora of things to do.

Autumn is more of an Indian summer, when the tourists go back home, children are back at school and there is a gentler vibe than summer, still stretching warm temperatures as though winter would never arrive. And let’s face it, a real harsh winter never really arrives. Worried about getting bored after the busy summer? Don’t be, there is always plenty to do! Visit Andalusia or grab your bicycle and discover the Costa Blanca.
