Among British holidaymakers, there’s a clear favourite when it comes to foreign destinations. Spain enjoys an advantage over its European rivals that would probably see it emerge on top, even if we were to disregard the appeal of Spanish-governed islands in the Canaries and Balearics.

But exactly why do we prefer Spain so strongly? Let’s take a look at a few plausible explanations.

Short Flights and Easy Travel Make a Big Difference for Families

When you have a family that includes young children, the idea of going on a lengthy trip, and dealing with them for hours and hours on a plane, might not be all that palatable. Since Spain is just a short flight from the UK, and it’s also accessible via boat, train, and road, it’s easy to see why it’s preferred by many.

Reliable Sunshine and Family-Friendly Climate

Sunshine is something that many of us are looking for during the summer – especially when the weather back at home isn’t quite as predictably glowing as we’d like. In Spain, the weather is warm and sunny throughout the season. As such, the holidays we enjoy are amazingly relaxing.

Destinations That Cater to Every Age Group

There’s a Spanish city, resort, or attraction that appeals to just about every kind of tourist. Whether you’re looking to take a toddler to the beach, entertain teenagers with a variety of wholesome activities, and enjoy nightlife in a safe, predictable environment, there’s a part of Spain that will allow you to do it.

All-Inclusive Options That Take the Pressure Off Parents

Among the more popular holidays in Spain are the package ones. When everything is bundled together, including travel, accommodation, and food, you’ll find it much less stressful to arrange a holiday. Fortunately, there are plenty of package holidays to Spain to choose from.

Beaches, Culture, and Activities in One Country

You don’t need to restrict yourself to the beach in order to enjoy a trip to Spain. There are plenty of inspiring inland breaks and attractions, too. That said, the beach is a large part of why Spain draws in so many tourists.

Why Families Return to Spain Year After Year

Once you’ve enjoyed one family holiday in Spain, the combination of convenience and quality will probably keep you coming back for more. It’s a reliable option that comes to be seen by many families as a go-to.

Planning Your Next Family Holiday to Spain
