Murcia, Spain Golf or Leisure Holiday

March 29, 2012 by

Article by Karen Hammond

Have you considered a Murcia Holiday. Spain will always be a popular destination for holiday makers, especially Europeans, but some tend to stick to the well trodden routes of Marbella on the Costa Del Sol or the Northern area of Benidorm. But have you considered a Murcia Holiday?Murcia is seen as a relatively new destination and offers the cultural aspects of Spain with a thriving traditional city full of ornate churches, a central cathedral & a stunning river that runs through the centre of the city. To the South East of the city you can drive for 30 mins and be in a beautiful costal location at the famous Mar Menor.The Mar Menor is essentially a sea lagoon with a delicate sandy bottom, at its deepest point the ocean reaches 20 metres deep, but on the coastal areas you can wade out up to 600 metres and still only be thigh deep into the water, this makes the Mar Menor ideal for families with children who can play on the sandy shores and wade safely into the water with little current and tidal flows. If water sports are your thing you can sail, windsurf, kitesurf, charter a yacht or just laze and sun bathe on the sunny beaches with no football shirts or kiss me quick hats in sight! Fantastic! The Mar Menor has a promenade that follows the shoreline for miles you can walk, bike ride, run or stroll along it at whatever pace you desire.If you want to stay in a location to experience the city and the coast then why not consider the La Torre Golf Resort. The region is fast becoming a mecca for golfing fanatics with many designer courses and La Torre is no exception with its 18 hole Jack Nicklaus designed golf course.With modern apartments, 24 hour security , swimming pools and many additional onsite facilities La Torre is 10 minds Drive from the Mar Menor and 20 mins drive from Murcia.

Holiday in a UK Leisure Park – Is a Holiday Home Rental For You ?

March 26, 2012 by

Article by Joy Gregory

Are you on the lookout for somewhere different for a holiday this summer, for a main holiday or perhaps a short vacation? Have you thought about holiday home rental in a countryside park? Caravan vacations have come a long way from when a holiday meant hiring a cramped caravan near the beach that some of us remember from our childhood. Up to date caravans are cozy and roomy with all the luxuries you need in a holiday home, some have King sized beds, en-suite facilities, flat screen TV with SKY or Freeview and are located in beautiful countryside, frequently by a river or lake. Or, if you’re looking for the ultimate in luxury and convenience you might consider a modern waterside lodge, these large holiday homes are ideal for a family, giving you all the room you could want.

Renting a holiday home in a UK park for a weekend or longer will give you all the facilities you require for an English countryside holiday. These caravans and lodges are generally fully equipped with modern kitchens, comfortable lounges, two or three bedrooms, frequently with en-suite bathroom in the main bedroom. They often have a private deck with table and chairs, you may well be overlooking a fishing lake, so you could fish right off the deck.

UK holiday parks have a lot of recreational facilities, especially for the holidaymaker, including, amongst many others, bars and regular entertainment, shops and facilities for fishing. These parks could be an option if you like traveling to the countryside but also need modern facilities and entertainment, there are often supermarkets and launderettes on the parks, as well as restaurants and takeways if you would like complete rest and no cooking for a week. A most important part of being able to relax and enjoy your holiday is having the ability to keep the children entertained so look for a park with plenty of facilities for younsters, maybe a swimming pool, paddle boat hire etc.

One such holiday park is Billing Aquadrome in Northampton. This is a large park set in beautiful countryside with the River Nene running alongside and several lakes inside the park. During the summer you’ll find ducks, geese and swans and their offspring everywhere. You might want to fish in one of the lakes or the river, take a train ride around the main lake, have a go in a go-kart, play adventure golf and take a giant bubble out on the lake to ‘walk on water’. You can swim in the large indoor swimming pool in the newly opened Leisure Complex then have lunch on the deck overlooking Billing Marina. In the summer events are held in the park, one of the most popular being the Balloon Festival and American Car Show at the end of August.

A Leisurely Holiday Walking in Crete

March 3, 2012 by

Article by Tony Maniscalco

Sometimes when one mentions holidays based around walking in Crete (or anywhere else for that matter) it is possible to see others around you flinching. Perhaps you may have seen them instinctively rubbing their calf muscles and looking intimidated. Some of the braver of them may occasionally say something along the lines of ?I’ll bet you need to be super-fit to do that?. Well, no, you do not!

Crete is an island in the eastern Mediterranean, which is closer to Egypt than it is to mainland Greece. Its history and breathtaking natural beauty are world-famous and rightly so. It is also a popular holiday destination with a range of resorts and locations to suit just about anyone’s requirements.

To really see some parts of this island and its culture, you need to get out and about on two feet. It may be perfectly possible to do so entirely on your own, but some people may find that slightly intimidating if they do not know the island and the language. One way to overcome that is to do your walking in Crete based upon fixed itineraries under the leadership of a very experienced and well-qualified tour leader. That way you will get the benefit of exploring locations on foot but entirely without the dual risks of getting lost or missing something that you didn’t even know was there.

Although walking in Crete may sound intuitively attractive to many, some of the above mentioned myths might cause some people to think twice.

Let’s deal with those!

? You need to be fit – there are walking holidays available to suit all ages and fitness levels. If you are very fit and enjoy, for example, serious hiking, then there will be walks for you. If, on the other hand, you are less fit, there will be less demanding itineraries to choose from.

? It is too hot to walk – given its geographic location, Crete can be hot during the peak summer months though it is much less so during the spring, winter and autumn. Even at the hottest times of the year, early morning or late evening walks are often at very pleasant temperatures.

? You need special equipment – for the majority of guided tours the only equipment required is a sensible pair of shoes and perhaps some headgear for sun protection. Even in more demanding guided walks, a sturdy pair of shoes and a rucksack with some basic supplies is typically all that is required.

? It involves camping – there is no relationship between holidays involving walking in Crete and camping. Walking tours can be arranged based upon the accommodation being in centres such as the island’s capital Heraklion or coastal resorts such as the chic and trendy Aghios Nikolaos. You won?t need to camp – unless you want to!

Crete is a magnificent island and one of the world’s locations that has contributed hugely to European and global development. While you are walking in Crete, you may discover at least some of the reasons why!

Costa Del Sol Holidays- Holiday Houses in the Costa Del Sol

February 17, 2012 by

Article by Porsche Klinger

When you are on your COSTA DEL SOL HOLIDAYS, houses are most preferred with the visitors probably because the area has excellent Mediterranean climate, fabulous beaches, mountainous terrain additionally to rural landscapes. Even though areas of the nation also finish up being excellent holiday locations, travellers enjoy the beaches and so the south of the country is very popular. The Costa del Sol is situated on the extended shoreline of Andaluc?a that stretches almost 150 kilometres inside the Malaga province in southern Spain. This part of the country literally means “Sunny Coast”: an apt title due to its moderate and sunny Mediterranean climate throughout the entire year.

The place can be found over the southern shoreline of the country. The eastern part of the south is a 54 kilometre stretch of coast, east of Malaga city all the way along to the western border in the Granada province. The western south of the country stretches roughly 100 kilometres from Malaga city for the coast of Gibraltar. Besides its beaches, one of the notable sights of the region is the variation in landscape, dotted with coves, caves, hills and valleys. Seaside metropolitan areas like Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Torremolinas involve some excellent holiday rental options that might be reserved through either an agent or perhaps through the owner directly. Along the coast, metropolitan areas like Marbella, Mijas and Puerto Banus are popular with the famous as well as the wealthy; therefore if you are trying to find an extra apartment to rent, you’ll in most probability wish it was here.

Costa Del Sol Holiday houses can be found effortlessly around the western end of the coast that’s frequently referred to as the ?New Golden Mile?. Metropolitan areas like Estepona, Pedro de Alcantara or San Luis de Sabinillas as well as the western most tip of Sotogrande have numerous overnight accommodations to fit the budget of each and every single traveller. Clearly a seaside holiday might be the main attraction for travellers however so there are many other activity to savour. The Andalucían region is stuffed with coves and hilly areas overlooking the coast and quiet cities like Nerja and Benahavis can offer a rural landscape for people considering doing various things. Even if you don?t find houses here, you’ll be able to book a farmhouse or possibly an average whitewashed village house in the residential areas. Such rental costs from private owners are increasingly prominent on the web so seek one out and reduce the resort expenses.

If you are on your COSTA DEL SOL HOLIDAYS and you want to play some golf, the south of the country is virtually a golfer’s paradise. You will discover some excellent golf courses in the finest standards inside and around the area. These provide facilities for golf players of all abilities. Accommodation for golf holidays can be found near the golf courses and here you’d most likely find somewhere to fit your needs. Book an affordable flight to this part of the country and rent a house from the owner directly. You will not just save the cost of agent?s fees but you will have the independence as well as the flexibility to relish the south of Spain at your own pace.
