The best beautiful place in Spain

 Hi all,

I'm Vietnamese, My name is Ngoc Dung

in next 2 month, I have a plan to travel to spain with some of my friend in 2 week. anyone please give me some suggestions!

Thank you!

If I were you - I would go and stay in the Best Western in Salobreno (make sure you have a Superior Room) - then go into the Sierra Nevadas and explore Las Alpujarras - little villages like Orgiva, Pitres, Pampaneira, Capileira are wonderful to visit.

Also visit Almunecar and the caves of Nerja - you will not be disappointed.

However, if you just want a beach holiday - then Mojacar is a lovely place - lots of restaurants - and a lovely white Pueblo.

Barcelona is also a MUST - La Sagrada Familiar is awesome!!!!  And at night it's lovely to walk down Las Ramblas.

However, when on holiday (this applies to the U.K. too) - please take care to watch your wallet - there are many Romanians and Eastern European pickpockets - who target these areas - and crowd round tourists when they are boarding trains etc. and try to steal from backpacks and handbags.  Hide all your documents and money well - and you should have no problems - Spain is a wonderful destination.

I second the recommendation for the Best Western hotel in Salobrenya - I've been there stacks of times and it's great, very economical and with fabulous views - you would need a car though to get the best out of the area. If you don't want to hire a car (you will see from other threads that hiring cars is a minefield), we loved the Hotel Torrequebrada near Benalmadena. For that, you don't need a car and again the views are stunning. That will be more expensive, but is worth it, in my opinion.

Sorry that I felt I had to mention the dangers for tourists in most of the large cities in the E.U. - these pickpockets (mostly from Eastern European Countries!!) are sweeping through the E.U. - most of them heading for the U.K. because that's where the richest pickings are!!!!!  AND!!!! What are the Fat Cats sitting in the European Parliament doing???? Nothing very useful!!!!  Just lining their own pockets - and having a fine old time at OUR expense.  Instead of tackling the problems in Spain and the U.K. - they are happily ignoring them.  Whenever the friendly policeperson actually manages to detain any of them - they send them to comfy prisons where they get 3 meals a day - Sky t.v. - etc. etc.  If they got caught back in their own countries - they would not be so happy!!!!  Everything in the U.K. has to be POLITICALLY CORRECT!!! If criminals break the law in a particular country - they should be sent back from where they came - and have their passports confiscated.  Can't imagine that happening any time soon!!

Hi Ngoc

Welcome to eye on spain where a simple question very quickly escalates into some serious discussion and everybody putting the world to rights.

Whatever you want, Spain can provide you with a great holiday. It has such diversity in the form of it's people, it's culture and it's landscapes. If you want to visit the cities then Barcelona, Granada, Toledo and Sevilla are my pick of the best. Andalucia is fantastic and the culture is something to experience. If you want beaches, your spoilt for choice. 

You're bound to have a great time wherever you go.
