If you're looking for a fantastic holiday in Spain, which will turn out to be one of the most fantastic times of your life then their a few simple things that you can do before you even think about booking.
Try and visit Spain during one of the many public holidays.
This is a time when every Spaniard gets out onto the streets and revels in the party atmosphere.
Some of the most common holidays include New Year's Day, for obvious reasons, and the feast of the three Kings which is celebrated on 6 January.
Another longer festival, celebrated over an entire week, is at Easter.
A lot of the festivals and holidays in Spain are celebrated around holy events.
Here are a couple of things that you should see if you get the chance.
In Valencia there is the festival of tomatoes, giving new meaning to playing with your food.
It is where a big trailer load of squishy tomatoes arrives in the town square and everyone fires them at each other.
Great fun! Another festival is the bull run of Pamplona, everyone has heard of this one.
I would advise caution in taking part in the bull run itself, but the excitement and thrill of watching the participants racing down the street with a pack of raging bulls chasing them has to be seen to be believed.
There are many, many cheap holidays in Spain.
The Spanish are both welcoming in their attitude as they are in their customs.
Spain has to offer a deep and historical culture, fantastic food and drink, and an attitude towards having a good time that has to be the envy of many other European countries.
