Spain

We have selected beaches that have impressed us the most in the area around Malaga and Gibraltar. You can find them clearly marked on our travel map.

Malaga in the south of Spain is easily accessible today thanks to several low-cost airlines, such as Level, Ryanair, or Wizzair. We have decided to combine the port city with an adventurous trip to Gibraltar and the most beautiful beaches in the area. If you have enough time, the historical cities of Alhambra, Ronda, and Cadiz are also worth a visit. We recommend them all.

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is the second largest city in Spain. Apart from its seaside location, it is known for its fairytale architecture by the famous Antoni Gaudí. Who wouldn't recognize the iconic Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, or the twisted buildings? Along with beautiful Barcelona, be sure to dedicate one day to the enchanting Montserrat mountain, which is just a short distance from the city.

During the day at the beach and in the evening at a wild party, that's how everyone imagines the island of Ibiza. The important thing is then to find the right balance so that both the liver and the wallet can handle it. We recommend combining a visit to Ibiza with an even more beautiful island of Formentera, where on paper is the most beautiful beach in Europe - Platja de Ses Illetes.

Endless beaches with white sand are not only in the Caribbean. You can find them also in Europe on one of the Canary Islands - Fuerteventura. In translation, it means great adventure or strong wind, but you will definitely experience both. Our route was a bit more complicated from Budapest with a layover in Madrid, but we didn't let that discourage us. After all, where else in Europe do you have water temperature above 20°C in the middle of April?

To bathe in the ocean in the morning and conquer an almost four-thousand-meter peak in the afternoon? Why not, it's a perfect option on the island of Tenerife. At the end of April, we are heading to this largest of the Canary Islands. We had to look for flights a bit more complicatedly, as we flew on the second to last flight to Gran Canaria.

It is December 2011, and anyone who thinks that it is not possible to swim during this time is mistaken. The Canary Islands, or the "Islands of Eternal Spring," will quickly prove them wrong. Ryanair operates the Bratislava - Las Palmas route non-stop even in winter, and we managed to book tickets for €88. This time, we focused on exploring the entire island and the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Rushed Bratislava, colder weather, nervous people sneezing at every step, unbearable boss, strict financial regime, and little vacation. These may be reasons why you dreamt today that you were somewhere on a deserted island in the position of a reclining shooter, drinking mixed drinks and surrounded by smiling native dancers.

At the end of 2010, Ryanair announced a new route from Bratislava to Las Palmas. A unique opportunity to fly to the Canary Islands directly from Bratislava was just waiting for the right deal. By the end of March, we managed to book round-trip tickets for 88€. Our second trip to the Canaries can begin.

It is the beginning of December and the temperature in Slovakia is below freezing point. How about cooling off in the ocean on the islands of eternal spring? We decided to visit one of the Canary Islands - Lanzarote. We combined two Ryanair flights - Brussels, Brussels - Lanzarote and hoped that nothing would happen during the transfer. The trip was successful and the lunar landscape of Lanzarote left a deep impression on us.
