A trip to Barcelona this May should definitely be the cards. One of the most visited regions for holidaymakers looking to enjoy Spain holidays is Catalonia. The busiest places are around the coasts to the north and south of the capital, as well as the city itself.
Those travelling to the Costa Brava and to the southern portion of the coast, the Costa Daurada can enjoy the delights of what is arguably Europe's longest stretch of holiday coastline, going south past Alicante round to the Costa del Sol in the south. The Costa Dorada (Gold coast) is home to the ancient city of Tarragona and Port Aventura for those with a taste for something more modern.
Take advantage of the late deals to Spain this May. One of Europe's most popular theme parks is Port Aventura. This theme park has a host of rollercoasters and an excellent waterpark, which is a godsend during the summer months. As the weather starts to warm up in May and June holidaymakers can also head for the region's capital, Barcelona to enjoy the start of the festival season. Late May sees the first of many, most notably with Primavera Sound on the 25th, running to the 29th. The festival has a rather international flavour and has featured the likes of Portishead and primal scream in the past.
Primavera Sound opens in Pablo Espanyol in Montjuic, Barcelona's main park and cultural centre. When revellers are travelling to the 700ft summit of the city park there are a host of popular cultural attractions for them to enjoy such as the magic fountain. As visitors climb up past the cascades and smaller fountains of Placa d Espanyol they can enjoy an ever improving view over Barcelona's harbour. Once at the top of Placa d Espanyol visitors come to the beautifully ornate palau nacional which was built for the 1929 international exhibition and now houses the museum of art.
The architecture and historical sites around Barcelona are the main attractions for those enjoying cheap holidays in the city. The Castel de Montjuic on the summit of the hill now houses the city's military museum which is rather fitting considering its violent and bloody past.
