TOP TAPAS IN MADRID

If you go to Madrid you cannot leave without having eaten in....

• Casa Gonzalez: Were Woody Allen to set one of his romantic European whimsies in Madrid, Casa Gonzalez offers jamón ibérico de bellota, manchego cheese, wine....

• Casa Alberto: A total institution in the Huertas area, this classic bar lures passerby with its traditional bright red facade. It’s known as one of the best places in Madrid for vermut de grifo
• Cervecería Cervantes
• La Venecia: Time grinds to a meditative standstill in this dimmed, tobacco-stained cavern, where the only tipple is dry sherry from a barrel and the only tapas are sliced-to-order cured meats, fish and cheese

TOP BEACHES IN SPAIN

Wanting to know which the best beaches in Spain are? Take a look!

• Macarella and Macarelleta, Balearic Islands.You'll fall in love with the turquoise sea and the cliffs covered by pine trees.

• Playa los Genoveses, Andalucía. Almería posseses plenty of virgin beaches, being this one of them. It is said to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Andalucía and it has been the setting of some films.

• Playa del Inglés, Canary Islands . Playa del Inglés and the dunes of Maspalomas have been attracting sun worshippers since the heady, hippy days of the 1960s, and with good reason. Seven glorious miles of honeyed beach morph into seductive sand dunes at the southern end, catering for those who prefer privacy and an all-over glow.

• Tamariu, Costa Brava. If you like the idea of secluded smugglers’ coves and broad stretches of golden sand fringed with pines and coral pink rocks, look no further than the Costa Brava. Far from the braying crowds of the larger resorts, the stretch of coastline between Palamós, about an hour north of Barcelona, and Cadaqués near the French border has some of the clearest waters in the Mediterranean.

• Cala Mesquida, Majorca. It is located on the north-eastern tip of the island. It is a stunning beach of pale sand, framed by dunes and pine forests. You'll fall in love!
