For many visitors to Spain’s popular Costa Blanca coast, Alicante is the first location in Spain that they see. Those who take the time to investigate soon realise that there is more to Alicante than its airport.

Benidorm is the key attraction here for plenty of visitors, with its party atmosphere that has been attracting tourists for many years. Those who choose to stay in Alicante itself have plenty of things to do and see.

One of the first things you’ll notice about the culture in Barcelona, and in Spain in general, is that time is pushed forward. In many cultures, you eat lunch between noon and 1:30; in Barcelona, you eat lunch between 3 and 4. Dinner is often not served until very late, between 10 and 11:30 in the evening; if you’re lucky, you may find eateries opening at 9:30, but that is the very earliest; if you try to eat too early, you will end up stuck in a tourist trap and over-paying. Make sure that you pack light snacks to take with you through the day if you are not used to eating at such times.

Most people love noting more than to spend their summer vacation relaxing on the beach. However, sometimes the beach can get a little crowded and that can potentially spoil your holiday. There is a solution to this though and that is to go to coastal beaches.

Why Opt for a Coastal Beach?

Whilst thousands of people flock to coastal beaches each year, usually most of them stay in resorts or in local hotels. So if you want to enjoy a coastal beach but you do not want the hassle of it being overcrowded, staying in a coastal beach cottage could be the answer.

Search engines are not made to find the cheapest flights. The cheapest flights will only be found looking at the offers that every specific company has in place in their Hot Deals section or at bidding places such as SkyAuction.

I know it is not the kind of start you were expecting from an article where I am supposed to promote a search engine, but I just want to be sincere with you. This is not the best solution.

Although the Mediterranean coast of France has been attracting tourists for centuries, many overlook the beauty of the equally spectacular west coast. We take a look at some of the highlights of France’s Atlantic coastline.

Four regions of France have Atlantic coastlines - Bretagne (Brittany), Pays De La Loire, Poitou-Charentes and Aquitaine.

Brittany is likely to be the best known for many British holiday-makers who have chosen to spend time on the west coast of France. Indeed, overseas visitors have been snapping up property here, meaning that some feel that the north-west coast has lost some of its “natural feel”, although there have been associated benefits.

Could the writing be on the wall for low cost airlines operating out of the UK and other European countries as the Conservative Party - once a campaigner and implementer of lower taxes - has called for purchase tax to be introduced to domestic flights?

The tax would add up to 17.5 per cent on to the cost of a flight from one British city to another, but while flights to the European mainland and popular holiday islands such as Menorca aren’t specifically mentioned, one travel company believes the new policy will inevitably lead to higher fares for flights not just within Britain, but elsewhere too.

The Truth About Holidays at Sea
By Ken C. Morris

So, you’ve been thinking about booking a cruise for the holidays, but you have a lot of thoughts about what a cruise entails that make you wonder if it’s a good idea. While many people have a lot of pre-conceived misconceptions about cruises, we’re here to knock a number of those out of the water.

First, many people believe mainly old people go on cruises. While there is quite an older population that does enjoy cruising, the truth of the matter is that the growing population onboard ships are families who are enjoying the fact that the parents can have a holiday get-away with the kids, since many ships are child friendly and even have special children’s facilities
