 A Spain vacation has been a perennial favourite of British holidaymakers for decades. And yet, as society, the economy and the choice available to travellers evolve, Spain's popularity shows no sign of diminishing. So what is the secret behind this ongoing love affair?
One major factor would have to be the climate. Many experts in the travel industry this year have suggested that an increasing number of people will be staying in the UK due to the strength of the euro. However, the Association of British Travel Agents recently claimed that bookings for holidays in Spain remained buoyant, despite fears of a slowdown. The one thing that Spain holidays can generally guarantee - which a break in, say, Devon cannot - is sunshine.
The hottest temperatures can generally be found in the Mediterranean part of the nation, though La Manga offers a milder, more comfortable climate. The Murcia region boasts highs in July and August of around 29C, with winter temperatures of between 15C and 17C on average - making it perfect for summer sun or a winter getaway.
Another reason that Spain travel has historically been a hit with Brits is a favourable exchange rate. That was expected to change this year due to the performance of the euro against the pound. Some commentators believed that more people would be inclined to holiday outside of the eurozone. However, a study by insurance.co.uk found that more British holidaymakers will choose a resort in Spain this year than anywhere else - suggesting the country remains a favourite, regardless of financial factors.
Furthermore, La Manga Club makes booking Spain travel easy with its simple to use website. The first step is to choose the type of accommodation you would like to stay in. La Manga Club offers a range of Spanish holiday villas - with shared and private pools - as well as apartments to suit all needs.
The next thing is to consider how to get there. Again, La Manga Club has taken the hassle out of the procedure by operating its own flight booking system, on which potential guests can book flights to Alicante and Murcia airports. There is also a car rental and airport transfer service that allows you to arrange your transport to whatever extent suits you.
Spain is certainly a family favourite when it comes to booking destinations, with years of experience in providing excellent facilities for those with children. La Manga Club is a luxury holiday resort in Spain that is particularly welcoming to families, with a range of activities available to keep little ones entertained. For example, while mums and dads are enjoying the golf and tennis facilities, kids can spend their days playing at the Mini Club Fiesta. For budding sports stars, there are also academies available for football, dance and cricket.
One thing which is highly recommended for anybody looking to book a Spain vacation is travel insurance. Policies can cover anything from loss of luggage to injuries, though additional cover is often needed for those who prefer an adventurous break. Visitors to La Manga Club can arrange their insurance ahead of their break by visiting the Spain resort's website, which will help to point them in the right direction.
Spain is famed for its food, with paella, seafood and tapas among its best-loved dishes. La Manga Club is well equipped to deliver the best in national cuisine, with the Amapola Restaurant at the Hyatt Regency, La Cala at La Manga Club beach and La Bodega at La Plaza all serving up fine Spanish treats. Nevertheless, the Spanish palate is as cosmopolitan as any, and other tastes - such as south-east Asian, Italian and Indian - are all on offer.
While La Manga Club is synonymous with sport - particularly as it is a favourite with professional clubs and individuals - it is also the epitome of Spanish relaxation. Central to this is the Spa La Manga Club and Wellness Centre, which boasts 13 treatment rooms, Jacuzzis, saunas, a gym and a whole lot more. The coast is known as La Manga del Mar Menor, an area which is as popular with sun worshippers as it is with water sports enthusiasts. The region's beaches stretch for 26 miles, leading out to both the Mar Menor and Mediterranean seas. However, Guests at La Manga Club need not travel far, as the Spain resort has its own beach at La Cala.
For holidays in Spain that carry the hallmarks of a classic break in the nation, a stay at La Manga Club has few rivals. Why not book a holiday there and enjoy the Spanish way of life.
