Bargain hunters head for Spain

Holidaymakers looking for a bargain break this summer may want to opt for Spain, where prices start at £127 for a holiday in the Costa del Sol, online travel experts, Holidays-direct.co.uk, have said.

According to the website, Brits who are keen to go for a summer break without breaking the bank can enjoy the Spanish coast and the Canary Islands on a budget.

"Entertainment is also first class in all resorts across Spain. The combination of a flamboyant nightlife and sun kissed beaches appeals to a huge cross-section of holidaymakers," the website asserts.

Those who are short on time can opt for a short holiday or a city break.

Holidaymakers can easily explore Spain by car and arrive by ferry in Bilbao in the north, where they can visit the famous Guggenheim Museum which was designed by architect Frank Gehry and houses works by Andy Warhol and Louise Bourgeois, among others.
