Surrounded by greenery on a large property, this pretty villa in Mallorca has a gorgeous terraced garden, lawn, a private swimming pool, and lots of places to dine and relax al fresco.

If you are looking for a perfect sun holiday destination or a great place to stay active in Spain then the coastal area of Alicante is an ideal option and a villa in Finestrat, in particular, offers access to postcard-perfect beaches and verdant landscapes inland. Here you can swim, tan, hike, bike, surf, snorkel, dive, and much more besides.

You can also explore the neighbouring towns such as Benidorm, a tourist town that visitors from the UK especially love, or the town and municipality of Villajoyosa (or La Vila Joiosa in Valencian) bordering the beach of Cala de Finestrat to the southwest. The, “Joyful Town,” often known locally simply as La Vila, is a historic fishing town full of character and known for its colourful buildings and as a centre of chocolate production in Spain. For a sweet and joyful day out on vacation in Finestrat, it’s the best place to visit!

The port city of Tarragona is already a rather magical place that boasts truly beautiful beaches, a rather romantic crumbling Roman amphitheatre overlooking the Mediterranean, a walled medieval centre that almost appears frozen in time, and more. Furthermore, the city in its totality has also been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Incredibly elegant and picturesque and steeped in history, a vacation rental in Tarragona and a stay in the city have all of the ingredients necessary for perfect seaside getaway in Spain.

Of course, with all of this, you likely won’t need any more convincing to book a villa in Tarragona for your vacation in Spain but if you are looking for a serious cherry on top and you happen to be interested in the art of illusionism, then be sure to plan your trip for this April. Each year, throughout almost the entire month, Tarragona is taken over by magic for the month of April as it hosts the Teatre Màgic International Magic Festival. With performances by some of the biggest names in magic globally and some of the best magic shows on offer today, this is something that both the casual fan and serious enthusiast can enjoy. Know nothing at all about this world? Well, it’s a great way to dip your toe in for the first time.
