🏖The best beaches in Spain🌊

In July beaches are a must-visit place for many Spaniards and foreigners on holiday. But among the large number of sandy beaches on the Spanish coast, with more than 3,000 recognised beaches, there is one that has been crowned internationally as the best in the country.

This is the Zarautz beach which has been chosen by the prestigious magazine Condé Nast Traveler as the best in Spain in 2024. It is located in the town of the same name and in the eastern part of the area known as Costa Urola and is more than 2.5 kilometres long making it the longest on the Basque coast. This stretch of coast in the province of Gipuzkoa is famous for its spectacular beaches, its fishing villages and its txakoli, a local sparkling white wine.
It is also the highlight to the surfers from all over the world.

The top 10 best beaches in Spain according to the magazine are as follows:

1. Zarautz, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country
2. Famara, Lanzarote, Canary Islands
3. Cala Saona, Formentera, Balearic Islands
4. Valdevaqueros, Cadiz, Andalusia
5. The Cathedrals, Lugo, Galicia
6. The Madmen, Cantabria
7. Calblanque, Murcia
8. Poo Beach, Asturias
9. Playa Nord, Valencia
10. Cala Fonda, Tarragona, Catalonia

🏊‍♂️🏊THE BEST HOTELS WITH POOLS IN SPAIN -
just what you were waiting for this summer🧜‍♀️🧜‍♂️

Infinite or not. Air-conditioned or natural. Classic or designer. With views of the mountains, the Costa da Morte, the Casa Batlló or the Giralda. Here are the most amazing hotel pools in Spain.

The traveller knows that first thing to take when packing a suitcase is a swimsuit. With that brief piece of clothing they may not let you enter a restaurant or a museum, but the doors of heaven will open wide for you. After spending all day touring at 40 degrees going to pool is like heaven - like the one at the EME Mercer Cathedral in Seville with the views of the Giralda.

Rooftop hotel pools with more monumental views than the EME pool do not exist in Spain, but there are two that come close: one is the Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona which is only 140 meters from Casa Batlló, and another is that of the Pestana Plaza Mayor in Madrid where its clients stretch out on top of the famous Casa de la Carnicería, 75 meters from the equestrian sculpture of Philip III.

In Vigo there is the fourth - it is a hotel where, if you don't bring a swimsuit, you miss out on the best. From the Skyline heated pool of the Gran Hotel Nagari you cannot see any monuments, but you have a divine view of the Vigo estuary, which is a very historic setting, where the Battle of Rande was fought on 23rd October 1702 and where, in another more literary order of things, Jules Verne hid Captain Nemo's underwater treasure. It goes without saying which is the most suitable reading here between dip and snooze. That is, if the two jets, the two waterfalls, the two bubble beds, the countercurrent swimming jet and the two hydromassages leave you time to read something other than the menu at the Manhattan Lounge bar and restaurant.

In Muxía (A Coruña), on a hill above Lourido beach, stands the Parador Costa da Morte, a very modern, very bold work by the architect Alfonso Penela from whose glass-walled pool you can see a famous coastline. There have been more than 140 major sinkings during the last century leaving shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea. Compared to the abrupt tango that the waves force to dance on the beach, down here, the exercise of swimming in this high rectangle of still water is so easy, so restful, so unconscious, so dreamlike, so unreal - like doing it in an Aquarium.

A glass box displayed as if it were a giant fish tank on a mountain on the Costa da Morte is something very rare, but the title of most extraordinary swimming pool in northern Spain goes to Puebloastur, an eco-resort in the Sueve Valley which, as its name and five stars indicate, is a fantasy Asturian town built inside another real town (Cofiño, in the county of Parres), with gastronomic restaurants, organic gardens, greenhouses, stables of native animals, a complete health and well-being center (thalassotherapy, aesthetics, physiotherapy, osteopathy, oxygen therapy, jacuzzis, massage cabins...) and an infinity pool with views to an infinite landscape: the Picos de Europa. They say that these mountains are so called because they were the first land on the continent that sailors saw from ships when they returned from America or from whaling in Newfoundland.

The hotel with amazing pool to amazing pool is in the Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa in Finestrat (Alicante), where there is not one, but six, each more exotic: the Langkawi (a succession of infinite ones), the Caras of Angkor (adults only), the Zen (with whirlpool), the Lombok (natural lake style, with waterfall), the Thai Spa (heated) and the Thai Club (exclusive for suites). All of them are surrounded by tropical gardens.

You will only find a greater exaggeration than this in the Gran Meliá Palacio de Isora in Tenerife: 7,500 square meters of swimming pools, among which the Infinity Pool stands out, the largest saltwater pool in Europe (inside a hotel) - as large as a field soccer. An abundance of swimming pools and views: of the Atlantic and Teide.

And finally, in the Balearic Islands, there are two obligatory dips. One is in the high infinity pool of the Bless Hotel Ibiza, in Es Canar, whose waters visually merge with those of Cala Nova, and another is the hanging pool at the Innside by Meliá Calviá Beach in the town of Magaluf which is suspended 20 meters high between two buildings and has glass walls. In this way swimmers seen from below from the street level seem to float in the air.

If you wish to book any of these hotels or would like me to package it with flights, transfers and/or any excursions you might like, please do not hesitate to get in touch: 07810 141598

The iconic Byblos hotel has been welcoming a new A-list crowd as it approaches its second summer reborn as La Zambra Resort.

The erstwhile holiday hideaway of royalty and rock gods had been closed for years until reopening after a massive multi-million euro refurbishment. The iconic blue and white tiled palace, which attracted the world’s elite from its 1986 opening, has been refurbished in a way that stays true to its original character.

Lady Diana, the Princess of Wales, stayed no less than three times at this leafy enclave set amid the lush fairways of Mijas Golf. It was the first place she spent the night during her debut visit to the Costa in 1993, the same year she announced her withdrawal from public life following the revelations of her relationship with pl***oy James Hewitt. The Saudi royal family repeatedly chose the Byblos as their preferred retreat. The Rolling Stones, too, found satisfaction in its peace and seclusion. Massive fans of Spain, the Stones were the first foreign band to perform in the country in 1976, following the fall of Franco. And on subsequent tours they went on to perform 21 sell-out concerts across the country, choosing to wind down at the Byblos when performing in the south. The hotel was also a firm favourite with Spanish household names, including Malagueño star Antonio Banderas and singing legend Julio Iglesias.

The resort offers a wide range of wellness and entertainment services for its visitors, including the Mood Spa, one of the largest wellness centres on the Costa del Sol. Its wellness offerings are complemented with indoor and outdoor sports facilities. For racquet sports enthusiasts, La Zambra has two tennis courts and a paddle tennis court. And just a short buggy ride from the hotel, you’ll find two world-class golf courses.

✨️Embracing Sustainable Tourism: A Guide to Responsible Travel✨️

As the world becomes increasingly aware of the environmental impact of tourism, the concept of sustainable travel is gaining momentum. Travellers are no longer just seeking exotic destinations and luxury accommodations; they're also considering the footprint they leave behind. Sustainable tourism aims to minimize negative impacts on the environment, support local communities, and preserve cultural heritage. Here's a guide to help you embrace sustainable tourism on your next adventure.

⚜️Choose Eco-Friendly Accommodations

Opt for hotels, lodges, or guesthouses that prioritize sustainability. Look for certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or Green Globe, which indicate a commitment to environmental stewardship. Eco-lodges often utilize renewable energy sources, implement water-saving measures, and support local conservation efforts.

⚜️ Support Local Communities

Engage with local communities and support their livelihoods by purchasing goods and services from local businesses. Choose locally-owned restaurants, shops, and tour operators to ensure that your spending benefits the local economy directly. Participate in cultural experiences that are authentic and respectful of local traditions.

⚜️ Respect Wildlife and Natural Habitats

When exploring natural attractions, adhere to responsible wildlife viewing guidelines. Refrain from disturbing or feeding animals, and avoid purchasing souvenirs made from endangered species. Choose eco-conscious tour operators that prioritize animal welfare and conservation efforts.

⚜️ Minimize Waste and Conserve Resources

Carry a reusable water bottle, shopping bag, and utensils to minimize single-use plastic consumption. Conserve water and energy by taking shorter showers, turning off lights when not in use, and adjusting thermostat settings responsibly.

⚜️Educate Yourself and Others

Take the time to learn about the environmental and cultural issues facing your destination. Understand the significance of local ecosystems, traditions, and challenges. Share your knowledge and experiences with fellow travellers to promote awareness and encourage responsible behavior.

By embracing sustainable tourism practices, we can not only minimize our environmental impact but also contribute positively to the places we visit. Together, we can work towards a more sustainable and responsible approach to travel that preserves the beauty and diversity of our planet for future generations to enjoy.

🇪🇦FALLAS OF VALENCIA🇪🇦

From the 1st to 19th March, Valencia is overturned by Fallas celebrations, a festivity that combines tradition, satire and art which shouldn’t be missed for anything in the world.

The origin of las Fallas comes from the old carpenter’s tradition who, when celebrating the arrival of spring on 19th March, used to burn pieces of wood (parots) that were used to prop up their lights during the winter.

To this bonfire they gradually started to add old belongings and rags, which gave the wooden structure a human-looking aspect, until they became the ninots that we know today. The Valencian sense of humour soon gave the irony shown in the ninots which is maintained at present.

The Fallas celebrations have evolved into temporary works of art which, in some cases, cost millions of euros.

Del 1 al 19 de marzo, Valencia se vuelca en la celebración de las Fallas, una fiesta que combina tradición, sátira y arte y que no deberías perderte por nada...

Many times things do not go as planned and that is another reason why booking with a travel agent is a great benefit to you.

If you read the news there have been quite a few flight cancellations due to strikes in Germany. It affected also one of my clients, and I saved her time and money getting completely new flights (without any additional penny spent) sorted to fit her itinerary as Lufthansa airline had auto-rebooked her to depart 2 days later which was not acceptable. Client sent me a notification on WhatsApp at midnight and I was on the emergency phone with the tour operator straight away selecting and holding new flights, so she can re-confirm them to me the next morning. I spent in total over 3 hours re-booking flights and transfers and client didn't have to do anything else but accept the new arrangements. I also helped her with the upgrade to business class and informed her of the benefits.

Whilst in the resort, it turned out that transfer company had not been informed by the tour operator of the flight change and once again I had to step in and call local transfer supplier in Egypt to make sure her transfer comes at the right time. If I didn't get involved as a travel agent, my client wouldn't have had a transfer and she would have to take a taxi to the airport and spend her own money before it would be refunded at later stage. Complications that can be avoided if booked with a travel agent like me.

Attached is a feedback that I received from my client 🙂💚

🌌 NORTHERN LIGHTS IN 2024 🌌

Drum roll, please! The exciting news is that scientists and astronomers have predicted that 2024 will coincide with a solar maximum, marking a period of increased solar activity and storms.

This bodes well for travellers hoping to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights in 2024 and tick this incredible experience of their travel bucket list, as the likelihood of witnessing vibrant and widespread displays of the Northern Lights is higher during these peak solar phases.

While the aurora borealis is typically visible near the Earth’s polar regions, during periods of heightened solar activity, it may be visible at lower latitudes. However, to maximise your chances, choose a destination or destinations within the Arctic Circle, and opt for locations with minimal light pollution and clear, dark skies. Among the top destinations for viewing the aurora borealis are Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard and Norway.

The aurora borealis occurs when charged particles from the sun, mainly electrons and protons, interact with Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere. This interaction produces vibrant hues of green, pink, purple and blue that dance across the night sky near the Earth’s polar regions.

One of the key factors influencing the intensity of the aurora borealis is solar activity. The sun goes through a natural 11-year cycle of solar maximum and solar minimum. During the solar maximum, there is an increased number of sunspots, which are areas on the sun’s surface with intense magnetic activity. This heightened solar activity often leads to more significant and frequent displays of the Northern Lights.

In addition to solar activity, the occurrence of geomagnetic storms plays a crucial role in the visibility and intensity of the aurora borealis. Geomagnetic storms are caused by disturbances in the solar wind that interacts with the Earth’s magnetosphere. These storms can amplify the Northern Lights, making them more visible at lower latitudes than usual.

I've bookes many trips to see the Northern Lights for my clients - including Iceland, Northern Norway, Northern Sweden, Northern Finland, Hurtigruten cruises, North Pole expeditions to name a few. And I myself saw amazing display of aurora borealis in Lofoten Islands, Norway. What an adventure and experience! Something one should definately see in their lifetime!
