It may be October, but temperatures in Spain are still very comfortable indeed. As sunshine becomes increasingly scarce across the UK, holidaymakers and natives of Spain are still enjoying the country’s splendid beaches. But Spain also offers a wealth of historic attractions, as well as the classic Spanish sights of flamenco dancers, matadors and tomato fights!
Smooth Roads, Warm People
Having enjoyed an unprecedented level of infrastructural investment over the last two decades, Spain offers some of the finest roads in Europe – and some of the finest destinations. If you’ve travelled around Spain before, you may have the impression that it is in fact several nations in one. From the dramatic, lush green coastline of the Basque Country in the northeast, to the golden sands of Andalucia’s beaches in the south, the landscapes of Spain change as much as the people do.
But as diverse as the cultures and languages of this country are, the people share a common warmth that makes any driving holiday here truly memorable.
Lower Prices, Fewer Tourists
October is a great time to visit, with lower rates for accommodation, and fewer tourists – which means roads are easier to navigate and restaurants are less busy. Add to this Spain’s legendary cuisine – from tapas to tortilla, from paella to chorizo sausage – and you have the key elements of a fantastic autumn break.
Getting There
There are many ways to reach Spain. You might sail with your car from Plymouth to Santander on Spain’s northern coast, or by taking a ferry from Dover to Calais and then driving down through France. However you chose to travel to Spain, ensure you have your annual or short term European cover topped up before you leave.
