Hi All...I want to hear about nice places in Spain. I'm looking at booking a holiday with a short flight involved due to the bin lids. To help with my enquiry here is a list of things I don't like about the Spain I know:
Resorts packed with Brits
Egg, chips and beans for tea
reserving sunbeds at 0600 around a hotel pool
Drinking Tetleys bitter next to groups of other Brits
beach stacked with sunbeds all full of Brits and being hassled by Nigerians selling me fake sh1t.
pavements littered with flyers by 1700 everyday
Vendors telling me their trips are the best when they patently are no different to any others
tacky markets sold as being 'authentic' Spain
High rise hotels...one after another
What I do want to experience:
Authentic Spanish food
Nice villa or hotel that isn't like a cattle market with nice pool
smaller/quieter beaches
Local town with local Spanish people living there
Something for the kids to do like a water park et al within a bus ride or drive from where we are staying
Local festivals
authentic markets
I think thats the scene set. Who has been somewhere as I describe/aspire to? Please tell me of it!!
