Holiday rentals in Spain are becoming increasingly popular these days as people are discovering that the package holiday ‘bargains’ aren’t all that they say they are. For holidaymakers coming from the UK, you can get to Spain incredibly inexpensively by using some of the budget airline carriers, and if you’re able to give up a bit of extra time, you can even drive down to Spain, saving yourself the flight costs.
Traditionally, holiday rentals in Spain have been centred around the coastline, in particular the Costa del Sol in the south and the Costa Blanca in the East. If you still think that holiday rentals in Spain are made up of just these famous coastlines, then think again. Spain has so much to offer the visitor, and if you’re someone who likes the idea of being far from the madding crowds, then you will certainly find your perfect place here.
Andalucia is one of the best known parts of Spain, and with good reason. Made up of 8 provinces, it is brimming with stunning countryside and beautiful Moorish towns. Holiday rentals in Spain take on a new meaning in parts of Andalucia, with beautiful secluded farmhouses and cortijos overlooking endless landscapes.
For those in search of the most out of the way and un-touristy holiday rentals in Spain, head for the north. Here, in the regions of Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria you will discover the true meaning of peace and quiet. Asturias is home to the Picos de Europa mountain range, well known for its excellent walking trails and fantastic flora and fauna.
And if you are seeking holiday rentals in Spain where you can live like a local, and be lucky to see another tourist in a whole week, then parts of central Spain are for you. Madrid is of course full of hustle and bustle, but regions such as Extremadura, Castilla la Mancha and Castilla Leon offer you some truly wild and unspoilt natural environments, peaceful landscapes, and a diversity of holiday rental options.
The bottom line is the holiday rentals in Spain mean much more than a two bedroom apartment on the Costa del Sol. If that’s what you want, then you will certainly find it. But if you are feeling adventurous, and want to discover holiday rentals in Spain which can offer you an insight into Spanish life, and a true escape from the stresses of everyday life, then you won’t have to look too far.
