If you haven't been to Barcelona before then perhaps you should consider a visit this May. One of the most visited regions for holidaymakers looking to enjoy Spain holidays is Catalonia. It is one of the most popular destinations in Spain, so you can rest assured knowing you'll have an incredible time here.
If you want to experience what is arguably the longest stretch of holiday coastline, head to Costa Daurada. The breathtaking beach stretches south past Alicante round to the Costa del Sol in the south. It makes for a great family destination, and is also ideal if you want to relax away from the bustling city of Barcelona. The Costa Dorada (Gold coast) is home to the ancient city of Tarragona and Port Aventura for those with a taste for something more modern.
Port Aventura is one of Europe's best theme parks with a host of rollercoasters and an excellent waterpark for the summer months. As the weather starts to warm up in May and June holidaymakers can also head for the region's capital, Barcelona to enjoy the start of the festival season. Late May sees the first of many, starting with primavera sound on the 25th, running to the 29th. The festival has a rather international flavour and has featured the likes of Portishead and primal scream in the past. If you book at the last minute you may be able to secure one of the late deals.
If you are a festival lover, you will adore Primavera Sound in Barcelona. There are a host of popular cultural attractions for revellers travelling up to the 700ft summit of the city park - such as the magic fountain - which is a great feature in the blistering sun. As visitors climb up past the cascades and smaller fountains of Placa d Espanyol they can enjoy an ever improving view of Barcelona's harbour. Once at the top of Placa d Espanyol visitors come to the beautifully ornate palau nacional which was built for the 1929 international exhibition and now houses the museum of art. Primavera Sound has a more alternative music scene when compared to Sonar or Benicassim and opens in Pablo Espanyol in Montjuic, Barcelona's main park and cultural centre.
The architecture and historical sites around Barcelona are the main attractions for those enjoying cheap holidays in the city. The Castel de Montjuic on the summit of the hill now houses the city's military museum which is rather fitting considering its violent and bloody past.
