Break away
This is how most tourists who have visited Ibiza briefly talk about what to do in the resort. The island of Ibiza, part of the Balearic archipelago, is located in the Mediterranean Sea off the southeastern coast of mainland Spain. His worldwide fame is based on music - club and electronic, which, with the onset of dusk, begins to sound on the island from any iron. But seriously, every summer in Ibiza the club season starts and fans of parties and parties led by the best DJs of the planet become its guests.
The geography of Ibiza allows everyone to look after their own place in the sun, but nevertheless, it is better for the sedate and loving calm contemplation travelers to find another place for their summer vacation:
- Sant Antoni is full of music-savvy youth in July and August. The rest of the time, shallow sea bays and warm water attract families with children and golden-age tourists to this region.
- The beaches of Talamanca are five minutes from the capital. A universal option for those who do not mind taking a break from the noise of the city, but, on occasion, are ready to rush to the capital's club if it is about five minutes by taxi.
- Playa d'en Bossa is the busiest place on the island. Most of the clubs and bars are concentrated here, and if you wish, you can spend your entire vacation, moving from one to the other without looking at the chosen hotel room.
In the north of the island there is another wonderful place - the village of San Miguel is considered the most expensive and prestigious resort in Spain in Ibiza. You can get here in half an hour by bus or taxi from the capital of the island. San Miguel was chosen by wealthy Europeans who appreciate the mild climate of Ibiza, the clear sea and the comfort offered by the local hotels. The swimming season in this part of the island begins in mid-May, when the water warms up to + 19 ° C, and the air during the day - to a pleasant + 26 ° C.
Hotels in San Miguel are very expensive. For a day in a double room of a hotel with three stars on the facade, you will be asked not less than 150 euros.
Under the peaks of the Sierra Blanca

S7 flies directly, and with transfers in Madrid, Rome and Amsterdam - Iberia, Alitalia and KLM, respectively. Travel time - from 5, 5 hours excluding connections.
- The beach season in one of the most expensive resorts in Spain begins in the second half of May and lasts until the end of November. The mountain system forms a special microclimate, thanks to which the intense heat in Marbella does not happen even at the height of summer.
- The average price of a double room in a 3 * hotel in the resort is from 100 euros per day, 5 * - from 200 euros. But if you wish, you can find quite affordable accommodation and feel all the charm of rest in a fashionable resort for a reasonable price.

The most expensive winter resort in Spain
The ski Pyrenees are loved by fans of winter sports for their wonderful sunny weather, great views, excellent infrastructure and not too high prices for services, compared to Italy or France. The Baqueira-Beret resort is almost no exception with the only difference that the cost of a hotel room, ski passes and all other pleasures here is much higher than the national average. The reason is simple - the resort is very beautiful, well-maintained and famous for being chosen by members of the royal family for recreation. And for the opportunity to overtake the Spanish princess or even the prime minister on the slope, you can even overpay a little.
The Baqueira-Beret trails open in December and remain available until April. In case of too warm weather, the slopes are equipped with snow cannons. Little athletes are entertained by instructors and educators of three children's parks, and their parents can choose a route to their liking: the resort has slopes of various difficulty categories.
Hotels in Baqueira-Beret are not cheap and for a night in a hotel with a 4 * on the facade you will have to pay about 120 euros, and for a 5 * stay you will be asked for 200 euros or more, depending on the location of the hotel and its internal "filling".
