by hotelsetcstaff, posted in Home 
You’ll be amazed at all there is to do when travelling around Malagna Spain.  You’ll find this city on the Costa del Sol, which is near the Mediterranean Sea.  You’ll enjoy the beautiful warm Mediterranean weather and climate of this area.  Everyone of course loves to visit in the summer when the weather is nice and hot, but as well visiting in the Winter months can be quite pleasant too due to the near perfect mild temperatures that you’ll experience.  

Of course summer is the busiest in this area of Spain, so you’ll want to be speedy about making your reservations to ensure you get the best deals on flights, hotels, and even rental cars if need be. If you do need to rent a car you can actually do so right at the airport at arrival, if not you can hire a car service which will drive you to your destination hotel and also bring you back to the airport at the end of the trip. However, waiting until you get there, especially in the summer is not recommended being that it’s such a busiest time, you may get stuck (literally). 

There is certainly no shortage of things to do when you visit around the area of Costa del Sol and Malaga Spain. 
 
If you enjoy seeing old architecture and experiencing a bit of history then visiting the Alcazabo or the Citadel, which is the greatest fortress in Andalucia would be a great choice for your sightseeing agenda.  This citadel was built sometime between the eighth and eleventh century.  You’ll also, as a history buff, want to hit one or two of the museum there on the site of the citadel.  One is actually an archeological museum and is an area favorite. 

If you love fourteenth century architecture and buildings then be sure to check out the castle that is located in Malaga.  This is the castle of Gibralfaro, and is open for you to tour to actually experience the areas full and beautiful history.  You’ll be able to enjoy a beautiful view of he entire city as well as the port from Gibrlfaro.  This castle is actually very near the citadel, which makes it a convenient tour for you and can probably be accomplished in just one day. 

There is actually an amusement park in the Costa del Sol, which is the Tivoli Amusement Park.  This is great if you’re visiting the area with you entire family or just looking for an adventure.  The park hosts daily shows, has great rides, and has beautiful botanical gardens for you to tour. 

If you want to see a great landmark of the area then you should visit The Cathedral of Malaga.  This cathedral was began to be built in 1528 however construction was an on and off again thing for about the next 200 years or so, which was simply due to the lack of funds. This one Cathedral therefore has a multitude of different designs within it since construction was started and stopped so many different times. 

You’ll surely have no shortage of history to witness and explore before you in the Costa del Sol, as well as be able to enjoy the great weather as well as be near some of the finest beaches and ports in the world.

A Country Within A Country: Travel To Barcelona

by hotelsetcstaff, posted in Home 
The distinctive regional culture of Barcelona is largely due to geography and a plentitude of national pride and elitism. Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, one of Spain's 17 semi-autonomous states. The regional language is Catalan, along with the national language of Castilian Spanish. There has long been pressure from the Catalonian government and nationalists to earn complete autonomy from Spain. Consequently, the exclusive culture can be difficult to adjust to and there is significant animosity towards foreigners around the main tourist street of Las Ramblas. To thoroughly enjoy the sweet life and gentle hospitality of Barcelona, leave this busy area and explore the many diverse districts, endless with possibility.

Café Life and Nightlife for the Night Owl
Barcelona is truly a city that never sleeps, particularly during the warm Mediterranean summers. Avoid standing out like a sore thumb by eating dinner when the locals do: after 10 p.m. It is common to see children, grandparents and the family dog gathering at the outdoor cafes at these hours when the day's work is finished and time for friends and family has commenced. Since Barcelona hosted the Olympics in 1992, the city has been revamped with visitor friendly attractions such as the massive Olympic Village, a string of swanky restaurants, state-of-the-art nightclubs and boutiques along the beach. Most nightclubs do not get going until after 1 a.m. and club-goers typically wander out onto the beach around 5:30 to watch the sunrise over the Mediterranean.

A Modernista Mecca
The architectural wonders of Barcelona will keep even the most novice eye bewildered and intrigued. Antoni Gaudi decorated Barcelona with his treasures of modernism as a painter on a canvas. The grand boulevard of Passeig de Gracia is lined with elaborately adorned Casa Batllo and Casa Mila, both with the most intricate rooftops known to modern architecture. Arguably the most stunning of Gaudi's work is the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia. Each of the church's facades are meticulously designed with different themes and styles combining nature with religion and the soaring towers topped with mosaic grapes are built around a conch-like coiled staircase that visitors may choose to take instead of the elevator. Another tribute to Barcelona's artistic heritage is the Palau da la Musica Catalana. A view of the glass and mosaic inverted chandelier on the ceiling of the theater is alone worth the visit. Daily tours are offered in addition to the regularly held musical performances. Afterward, get lost in the tiny twisting passages of the surrounding historic Gothic Quarter.

Traveling Barcelona Right Not Your Weekend Visit
It is best to avoid traveling to Spain in August, when most of the locals (and most of Mediterranean Europe) take their vacations. Chances are that the restaurant you wanted to visit will be closed and museums will have extremely curtailed hours. August can also be uncomfortably hot.

Barcelona should be traveled with care and patience. The only disappointment visitors have is the inability to see all of the city's landmarks and hidden corners in a realistic amount of time.

Common medicine
Carry along medicines that you are likely to use, like aspirin for headaches, laxative for proper bowel movement and pain relievers. If you have a runny nose, buy a couple of decongestant. Dehydration and motion sickness is common when traveling, consult your doctor on which medicine is appropriate for you. 

Prescription drugs 
Remember to bring along whatever medication you are taking. Bring enough supply to last for the entire trip. 

*Personal Hygiene Kit 
This kit must include all your toiletries. This will keep you looking fresh all the time.
 
Dental 
Bring along your toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss. Buy a small bottled mouthwash or if you have plenty of supply left, just transfer it to a smaller container. 

Hair 
Carry along your favorite brush, comb and shampoo. Stuff in your hair spray, hair cream and gels if you are using one.

Personal effects 
This will include your make-up kit. Remember to bring only the cosmetics that you are likely to use. Carry with you a handy mirror. You can bring your manicure set too. 

Skin protection 
Keep your skin healthy by putting on sunscreen and lip balm as often as you need them. 

Bathroom needs 
Bring along with you sets of toilet papers, soaps, towels and washcloth. 

*Emergency Kit 
This includes the stuff you might need like flashlights, lighters, pocket knife and duct tapes. Mobile phones are important in case of emergency, be sure to bring your charger and an extra battery. 

*Leisure Kit 
For added fun, you can bring along your travel journal, reading materials and the locale’s language book. Make the most out of fantastic views with your binoculars and your camera. 

There is no such thing as a standard traveler’s kit. It varies upon the place and the activities you’ll do in a certain place. The above kits are basically the essentials. Be sure to keep everything checked and have a fun trip ahead!
