Spain

Trip Planning & Itineraries

Once away from the holiday costas, you could only be in Spain. In the cities, narrow twisting old streets suddenly open out to views of daring modern architecture, while spit-and-sawdust bars serving wine from the barrel rub shoulders with blaring, glaring discos.

Travel is easy, accommodation plentiful, the climate benign, the people relaxed, the beaches long and sandy, the food and drink easy to come by and full of regional variety. More than 50 million foreigners a year visit Spain.

Best of Spain: Top Hotels

In addition to these options, find a self catered accommodation in Spain from Owners Direct.

NH Las Artes Hotel

Hotel Las Artes offers an attractive package of accommodation plus admission to the City of Arts & Sciences, or to the Bioparc, Valencia's recently opened 21st-century zoo. On weekends and during school holidays, there's a play area with games and a special kids-only breakfast area. Year-round, parents can take advantage of interconnecting family rooms, a babysitting service and free accommodation for under-12s sharing their parents' room.

Hotel Jazz

Everything about this place exudes harmony, from the soothing tones and soundproof rooms to the friendly staff. The pool terrace is one of Barcelona's best, offering terrific views out over the city towards the Mediterranean and Montjuýc, and ample tables and sun lounges to while away an afternoon. It's a touch of class without the price that usually accompanies such luxury.

Hotel Emperador

It's not often that a swimming pool rates a mention above all other hotel features. In this case the hotel itself is outstanding, but the rooftop swimming pool has some of the best views in Madrid - it's a favorite spot for moviemakers and photographers looking for sweeping Madrid views. Inside, the common areas and rooms maintain many of the original design features from this distinguished 1930s building.

Not to sound like your mother, but…

Spain is generally a safe country. The main thing to be wary of is petty theft (which may of course not seem so petty to you if your passport, cash, travelers checks, credit card and camera all go missing). Most visitors to Spain never feel remotely threatened, but a sufficient number have unpleasant experiences to warrant an alert. Barcelona, Madrid and Seville have the worst reputations for theft and muggings.
