If there’s one holiday destination that lives fondly in the hearts of many holidaymakers, who happily return to this sun-drenched part of the world year after year, it’s the Spanish coast. Famous for its golden sandy beaches, long hot summers and family-friendly resorts, Spain is an eternal favourite with sun-seeking tourists and has earned itself a solid reputation as one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe, attracting tourists from all walks of life who come here to enjoy its temperate climate, historic cities and laid-back ambience, not to mention that distinctive Spanish flair.

Another reason for its popularity is the cost. With so many tour operators offering cheap holidays, Spain is an obvious choice for many. For those that like to go their own way there are daily scheduled flights along with regular ferries, meaning visitors can come for a short break, a long weekend or a fortnight – even longer if they wish – and enjoy competitive prices on transport, accommodation and local amenities.

Take Thomas Cook for instance. One of the UK’s most established package holiday tour operators, Thomas Cook has been supplying high demand and offering low-cost holidays to Spain for decades. High on the agenda for most customers are the golden Costas – lively, cheerful holiday resorts with long stretches of beautiful sandy beaches, gently lapping shores and a friendly welcome. Here you’ll find plenty of Spanish tapas and jugs of Sangria along with a distinctly British flavour in a ‘home from home’ environment with lively Karaoke bars, pubs and clubs all playing your favourite hits.
