Art, culture and the beach all in one place

WITH the third largest amount of UNESCO World Heritage sites, #Spain is a mecca for historical landmarks and cultural tourism. In the south, Cadiz is one of the longest continually settled cities in western civilisation with copious amounts of Roman ruins and elements relating to this period of time.

Spain’s second largest city, Barcelona, is guaranteed to delight. With evidence of the towns existence dating back thousands of years, its markets, restaurants, shops and museums will keep the traveller busy for as much time as they can spare. An extensive and modern transportation system makes it a treat to get from a to b. Tired of art and culture head to the beach; it will be warm for much of the year. 

For something different, head to San Sebastian for the International Film Festival in Basque county, held every year in late September (see the film themed Astoria7 hotel below to immerse yourself in the experience). Other activities include Climbing in Los Mallos, whitewater rafting in Campo, Hiking in Galicia and even downhill skiing in Northern Spain. 

roomsXML has over 6,700 properties in Spain so you'll be sure to find the perfect place to stay.

No nudity on Cadiz beaches

NUDITY will not be allowed at a popular tourist spot in #Spain, the country’s supreme court has ruled.  

The Spanish Federation of #Naturism objected to local legislation that prohibits nudity on beaches in the historic port city of Cadiz, arguing that naturism was a fundamental freedom.

But the supreme court ruled that authorities in Cadiz could ‘manage properly the use of its services, equipment, infrastructure, facilities, and public spaces’. The judges said the federation did not convince them that nudism was ‘at this moment an accepted practice by the majority of beachgoers’.

Naturists are allowed to use a beach outside the city.
