Spain has long been a favourite holiday spot, and with good reason. With its fabulous beaches, diverse cities, rich history and surprising cuisine, Spain is truly a destination that offers something for everyone. And now, with new budget airlines and great ferry links, it's easier than ever before to reach the sun-drenched Iberian peninsula.
No matter what kind of property you're looking for in Spain -- apartments, luxury villas, rustic farmhouses, or family-friendly accommodations -- Selfcateringhols.com has something to suit.
Spain Apartments: The Coasts
When you think of a holiday in Spain, you probably think first of the coast. Selfcateringhols.com offers dozens of homes and apartments along the Spanish shore. For a family-friendly atmosphere near exciting cities like Barcelona or Girona, head for the Catalan coast, on the northern Mediterranean shore. We rent holiday apartments in Spain's top resort areas including the Costa Brava, Sitges, and the Costa Dorada.
Further south, in Andaluc?a, the Costa de la Luz and Costa del Sol are also popular areas for sun-seekers in Spain. Apartments here are just minutes from golf courses and sandy beaches. Rustic-style homes further inland are available too.
Another great option is the Costa Blanca and the Costa C?lida, on the central coast of Spain. With an apartment or villa here you can enjoy the long sandy beaches and calm waters of the area. Airports in nearby Valencia and Alicante make getting to these central costas easy.
Spain Apartments: The Islands
Spain's islands are another great option if you're looking for fun in the sun. The Canary Islands boast a warm, sunny climate year-round, making them the perfect mid-winter getaway. Head to Fuertaventura for endless beaches or to Tenerife for easy access to great golfing, restaurants and nightlife.
The Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza) enjoy a mild Mediterranean climate and are closer to mainland Spain. Apartments here give you fabulous sea views and easy access to the beach, while a secluded villa is the ultimate spot for a peaceful get-a-away.
Spain Apartments: The Cities
A holiday in one of Spain's cities will give you a completely different look at the country. For fabulous food, shopping and art, head to Barcelona. Apartments here range from luxury flats in the historic centre to large apartments with views of the cityscape or the sea. In Madrid you'll find great nightlife and one of the world's most prestigious art museums: El Prado. Passionate Sevilla is the place to see flamenco or to explore the tapas bars of the old Jewish quarter. Smaller cities like Girona, Tarragona, C?rdoba and M?laga are full of history and culture and are worth visiting too.
Spain Accommodations: Rural Spain
A holiday in rural Spain offers a chance to turn back time and escape to the quiet peacefulness of the countryside. From the lush, green hills of Cantabria to the rolling fields of Extremadura, Spain offers a wide variety of landscapes to choose from, and our holiday properties are just as diverse. Choose from an old refurbished barn in Extremadura, a rustic farmhouse in Mallorca or an 18th-century home in Catalunya.
Sipping sangria in a plaza full of flowers. Walking under the fragrant orange trees in Sevilla. Watching the unabashed passion of flamenco late at night in a bar hidden away down a narrow alley. If that's your idea of a perfect holiday in Spain, then Andaluc?a is for you. View Andalucia accommodation and mini guide...

Forget about the Spain of bullfighting and flamenco. Catalunya, a small triangular region in the north-easter corner of the Iberian peninsula, is a proud, independent region with a unique culture.
