What makes Spain of such paramount importance when it comes to last minute breaks? We know it is one of the most visited places but why do people come here year after year? Two of the cities which receive most of the action are Madrid and Barcelona, both of which have everything one could possibly ask for in a holiday location.
Let's take a look at who comes here. For the most part at least in the beginning, it was people from the UK in the era of package holidays. After a while the coastal resorts started catering for the Brits giving them the same food and drink just like back home. As a result they became comfortable in their choice of holiday locations so why try something new? Like some people say "if it works then don't fix it" and that is exactly what they have done. The new generation has become addicted to the diversity of this country including its lifestyle, culture, food and its pristine beaches along with the history of this once superpower. Then there is the beauty of the landscapes and the lush mountains with valleys leading down the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. All this and we haven't mentioned the architecture left behind by the different civilizations that have ruled this country. The question is not what reasoning would keep people away but what draws them here.
When you take a look at the nation's capital with its modernity and traditionalism you soon realize this is another form of diversity. This city is also rich in history with places that the locals are justly proud of such as the cathedrals, churches and other buildings from the medieval period. This modern outlook includes restaurants, bars, nightclubs, modern shopping malls and ease of access from its Metro Trains along with traditions taking you back generations.
From your HOLIDAY RENTALS IN SPAIN, most of the cities have a museum or two but Madrid is full of them covering just about any subject you can think of. Some of these museums include the Museo del Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum of Art, the Reina Sofia National Museum and Art Centre.
