Spanish Mainland Holidays - Travel Guide

Family Friendly holidays in the Spanish Costa's: Almeria - Blanca - Brava - De La Luz - Del Sol - Dorada

Typical Almeria beachThe Spanish Costa's have been a favourite holiday destination with British families since the start of the package holiday boom in the 1960's. Its attraction is the short flight time from the UK, its climate and its choice of food. Benidorm in the Costa Blanca is still the Brits favourite with a weeks package holiday starting from only £90 per person. The Costa Dorada with its Port Aventura theme park provides an ideal mix of a beach & park holiday and attracts millions of families every year. The Costa del Sol lost its way during the 90's but is now fighting back and offers more attractions than the rest of the Costa's put together. The Costa Brava attracts families who want a bit of everything and being close to Barcelona (the capital of the region and Spain's third largest City) you can easily add a little culture to your holiday. The Costa Almeria and the Costa de La Luz are more "up-market" regions and offer little in the way of theme parks but do have some great beaches. One thing that can be said about the Spanish Costa's is that they know how to cater for the British tourist and value our patronage. If you haven't been to the Costa's since the days of the £50 package holiday - with a bout of Spanish tummy thrown in for free, then do go back and marvel at the way they have adapted to meet the needs of holidaymakers in the new Millenium.

  Free child places available on holidays & accommodationFree child places - Holidays, Hotels & Apartments. Our dynamic search does all the hard work in sourcing holidays with free child places. It searches from self catering holidays right through to all inclusive holidays with free child places and only returns the best deal found. All you need to do is enter the childrens ages on the last day of the holiday and the database will show the best deal available. If your party includes teenagers above 11 then you must enter these as adults as the airline will charge an adult fare. If your family includes infants then excluded them in the search (i.e. don't class them as a child) but do call us before booking so that we can ensure that a cot is available. Not sure! then play safe and give us a call as you'll find us very family friendly. Read more....
