A great escape to Menorca
Posted by julia on 13 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: cities to visit, beaches, outdoor activites
Ok, if you come to Spain and want to really have a relaxing time while enjoying all the beautiful views a beach town could offer you, Menorca is the place. The Menorca Wep Page is awasome, with a guide to practically every little city around, restaurants, things to do. It is one of the most complete guides I have ever seen on the internet.
Menorca is known as the windy island. It was called Menorca, the “minor” island, by the Romans, Mallorca being the mother island. The beaches that surround this little island are covered in white sand and are mostly surrounded by pine woods with rich vegetation. A great place for a great time.

Posted by julia on 06 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: beaches
It’s the heat of the summer here in Spain and as of July 1st, routine vacations start to happen here. 15 days for most 30 days for others. Spaniards start taking turns in July and end by August of mid September. I’m still surprised the country functions with all these people on vacation, but somehow it has been managing for years.
All I know is that everyone packs up and heads to where else the beach. And in order to know where you want to go you probably need a little more information. Well, on niumba blog, on eof my favorite Spain blogs they have put together a list of beaches by region so you can start you process of choosing where you want to go.
I personally start by vacation on the 4th, but don’t worry I have left plenty of interesting posts for you to read so you wont miss a beat or me.
Summer in Spain
Posted by julia on 06 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: Real Estate, hotels, beaches
Summer is so near now, I could smell the suntan lotion and the fresh salt air in the sky. The perfect time to come to Spain and bask in the sun. A week a go I wrote a post about buying a home in Spain but for those of you who are not quite ready to make the move but want to enjoy a great summer in Spain, don´t think about it any longer and start booking today.
You can stay in a hotel but another way to stay in Spain is renting a villa, where you are your family could have the privacy of your own home and not have any schedules to keep. These villas are beautiful and come fully equipped to cater to your every whim.
Before the sun rises and begins to give its first summer rays, pick up the phone and start booking your trip today.
