The great hotels to stay in Spain!


Spain the land of the Tapas, is a nice place to go on a vacation. But as usual we often tend to look at our budgets while we do that. But there are some really fantastic places to stay in Spain which do not cost that much and the food, I do not have to say much about that as it sells by itself! While in Spain, you can always visit the Torre de Bujaco, or the clock tower. It has been around since the times of the 11th century and the tales that it could tell if it could talk. Anyway the tower is open to the public and it offers one a panoramic scene of the Caceras region of Spain. You could also visit the Muralla de Avila , which is the fortress wall around the city of Avila and it is really old. You should note that cars are not allowed in but the walk in and around the ancient fortress and the citadel are breathtaking in all aspects. The sights and sounds of Spain coupled with some of the fantastic low cost hotels in spain will definitely make your stay there a memorable one!

Barcelona is a great city with some really fantastic hotels that are high on quality and low on costs. As such the Sagrada Familia is a great family hotel where you can accommodate your entire family and not spend a restless night worrying over what it will cost you. Like I said it is a family hotel and a nice and pleasant place to stay in. The buffet that they have at the Sagrada Familia is something to keep talking about. While in Barcelona you have to visit the La Boqueria, it is the market of all markets. Here the various food and their respective flavors will just overwhelm your senses leaving you watering at the mouth literally. This is a must see on your itinerary in Barcelona. The next must see place is the Gothic quarter, this is literally like a time machine. This place with its narrow streets and the mysterious air that only old buildings can give, will literally transport you a few centuries back into the mists of time itself. This Gothic quarter is aptly named and there are various 'kiosks' lining the cobbled streets, so that all of your needs can be gratified right away! For stay in Barcelona, there are some really great hotels in barcelona besides the Sagrada Familia where you can stay without worrying over your wallet!

During your visit to Madrid, there are a few places that are a definite 'must visit' such as the Prado museum, which could take up most of the day, so plan that visit well. Also, the Prado museum has several Goya paintings on exhibit. The other place that one must visit is the botanical gardens, which are a marvel to behold. Anyplace that has so many plants and trees in such abundance in a city where there are few trees left is indeed a marvel. What makes this botanical garden different from all the others is that it is located on a cliff top and that alone makes it stand head and shoulders above the rest. The view from here is incomparable and the beaches are near by as well. You can literally make a picnic of the visit to the botanical gardens. The last 'must see' on your itinerary has to be the Royal palace. This palace is the official residence of Emperor Carlos, and is steeped in history from the top to the bottom. All the rooms are huge and very nicely decorated. Do not forget to get some snaps of the Banquet hall. Madrid is really a very nice and pleasant place to visit, with the people so very helpful and with the hotels in madrid being a bit on the inexpensive side. Need i say more other than Ole!
