Spain is effectively a number of separate autonomous regions each with its own local government,language and culture. Each embraces a rich cultural heritage from the Moorish influences of the South with its impressive Palaces and Mosques of Seville,Granada and Cordoba,to the northern Galician culture which can trace its ancestry to the Celtic origins (they even play the bagpipes). Ask someone from Barcelona if they are Spanish and more often than not that will reply that they are not Spanish but Catalan! Barcelona has become the most popular short break destination for British people.
The Spanish are a passionate people who wear their hearts on their sleeves. Lives are dominated by a passion for partying and 'tapas' on an evening is an established part of their daily lives. Deeply religious nation folklore is very much alive and there is always some form of festival occurring. Take a ferry across the Bay of Biscay to Santander from Plymouth or Bilbao from Portsmouth to cut short your drive to this amazing country of fiestas and siestas. Spain is a great place for a city break,short break or a self drive ferry holiday. We can offer you a range of hand picked hotels that you may book directly with our staff when you book your ferry.
