This year, on May 1, Labour Day in Spain falls on Thursday, in what many people will choose to take the holiday to Friday from splicing together a long weekend and make some escape somewhere.
There are numerous options to enjoy these days of vacation and one of them is to visit those places that are close to our house but never had a couple of days to visit them. If you live in Andalusia yno know Seville, Cordoba and Granada now might be a good time as cities in the bridges are usually more calm and cleared to enjoy its charms.
These three provincial capitals offer us the best of the art of Al-Andalus with the most representative examples such as the Mosque of Cordoba, the Giralda in Seville or the very Alhambra proposal as one of the great wonders of the world.
But in Andalusia it is hot and one of the most frequent of Andalusia is to migrate a couple of days at the beach. Andalusia has some of the most significant costs of the Spanish coast as are the beaches of Cadiz and Huelva, with its white sand washed by the Atlanta and its coves now still virgins. Another good choice without going through the saturated Costa del Sol in Malaga are the beaches of Cavo de Gata in Almeria. A landscape that mixes the most arid desert of Almeria with a tranquil Mediterranean. Not too is an area saturated by tourism so we can go fairly economically.
Nor forget that a few kilometres from Huelva (west of Andalusia) is the Algarve region in Portugal, which also has beautiful beaches and coves with a service offering something cheaper than in Spain.
But if we want something really cheap, we can cross the Mediterranean from Algeciras and Tarifa or plant in Morocco. Morocco is a place where exotic language, religion, customs and places are very different from ours.
Morocco has the most beautiful unspoilt beaches but the real charm of the country is in the villages as Chaouen, one of the most attractive corners of the country. The most charming cities of Morocco are, Marrakesh, Rabat, the capital, the film Casablanca as well as former Spanish colonies of Tangier, Fez and Tetouan.
One of the most beautiful areas is Agadir in Morocco where he breathes the purest lifestyle of the country. In general Morocco has a good supply of hotels and restaurants, as tourism is a growing exponentially since it is becoming one of the favorite destinations of Spaniards and other Europeans.
Morocco is a poor country, so without spending too much money we have at our disposal exotic delicacies or gifts of high quality. The kindness of the people are somewhat surprised that we still do not know whether the country.
If our residence is at Levante move without too can enjoy the wonderful beaches near San Juan de Alicante, enjoy Terra Mitica in Benidorm or escape through the romantic beaches of Altea, but could also be a good choice for the lower Manga del Mar Menor in Murcia or something more down to Cape Gata in Almeria.
If your thing is not to pass heat with solecito of May we suggest a visit by Castilla La Mancha, Aragon and Catalonia, where temperatures will be more pleasant as the heat starts.
In Castilla La Mancha we can enjoy a great historical heritage in cities such as legendary Toledo, Albacete and Cuenca. The latter is also famous for its Properties Pendants and his “City Encantada”, a strange geological formations that have been shaped by the elements sculpting ghostly atmosphere. Very recommended.
Aragon is a great Autonomous Region which is preparing its capital in the Water Expo, Zaragoza 2008, making it more advisable to visit later when the Expo is fully operational because the city is suffering enough works and remodeling.
Catalonia is a very attractive region in terms of tourism, it can find beaches as Vilanova i la Geltru, GITG, Garraf, El Masnou, Canet or Calella de Mar in Barcelona, Segur of Calaferll, Eat-Ruga, Torredembarra, Salou, Cambrils, L’Hospitalet de l’Infant ,,,,,, L’Ametlla de Mar, or LÁmpolla Sant Carles de la Rapita in Tarragona.
If we continue north in the province of Girona, we can find a good deal of sun and sand from Tossa de Mar, Sant Feliu de Guixols and Palamos through Calella de Palafruell, Begur, Escala, Roses and reaching Cadaques, Cape Creus and Portbou, the latter with the encouragement of its proximity to the Pyrenees, one of the highest mountain ranges of Spain, ideal for being a bit cooler in this warm May and try to enjoy the last snows of the mountain.
These are our favorite destinations for a weekend in May this bridge especially if we live in Andalusia or Levante and
looking for a good deal in sun and sand.

This denomination is not a topic as it could seem when being a submark of support to the Costa del Sol. In that zone is the greater concentration of golf courses that exist in Europe in so short space as they can be the kilometers that separate the Corner of the Victory of the zone of Sotogrande. 40 golf courses exist that contribute to create a rich tourist patrimony without precedents and with excellent quality, in addition to which several of them are considered between the best ones of the world. The Coast of Golf has acquired in the last ten years a spectacular development, even with perspective of moderate development for the next years, mainly if the projects are carried out that exist in some zones of the Eastern Coast, like Nerja and Torrox. Now, the municipalities that have this type of facilities are Corner of the Victory (1), Malaga (3), Benalmádena (1), Mijas (7), Marbella (13), Estepona (5), Benahavís (3), Manilva (1) and inside the province, to shot of sling of the Coast, they are Alhaurín the Great one (1) and Alhaurín of the Tower (1). To these 36 reviewed golf courses, that correspond to Malaga, it is necessary to add other four of the province of Cadiz, although these comprise of this tourist unit based on golf and are the Alcaidesa, Sotogrande, San Roque Club and Valderrama, the field par excellence, where to the Ryder Cup outside the United States or the British islands for the first time was disputed. This world-wide golfístico event took place in the month of September of 1997 and from his designation by the corresponding committee in Whenworth (England) in 1993 it has meant a spectacular impulse to the promotion of the tourism of golf and the Coast of the Sun like first zone where the greater density of fields by square kilometer of all continental Europe takes place. The impressive height reached about the tourist supply of golf obeys to the increasing demand of players who become tourists when they practice this sport outside its place of residence, specially in the months of autumn, winter and spring, that is, outside the high season, which contributes excessively to desestacionalizar the trips, which stops the Coast of the Sun is very important, with the added value of which the golf tourist spends four or five times more - 25,000 pesetas daily-that the conventional one because the social and economic profile of the golfistas usually is of high level, with which it entails the multiplying effect in hotels and extrahotel supply. The last data on the evolution of the tourist segment of golf, that correspond to 1994, indicate that the Coast of the Sun attracted anything less than 300,000 golfistas to practice its favorite sport, demand that caused a calculated hotel occupation between a 70 and 100 percent during the nonvacacionales months and in those establishments that have their own fields or concerts with others for the commercialization of complete packages. The statistics of that year for the set of Andalusia reveal that the originator’s reference number to field or “green fees” ascended to 1.250.000, of which 800,000 corresponded to national foreign tourists and the rest.
