VACATION IDEAS
Want to visit some other cities while on this side of the Atlantic?
The area around Alicante itself is one of the busiest summer spots, thanks to its many family-friendly beaches, beautiful coves perfect for snorkeling, and charming towns such as Dénia, Jávea, Altea, Moraira, and Calpe.
However, if you’d like to extend your trip before or after the wedding, Spain offers incredible destinations, each with its own character and style of travel. Here are some of our favorites:
A peaceful Mediterranean island known for its turquoise waters, hidden coves, and relaxed atmosphere. Perfect for travelers seeking quiet beaches, sailing, and nature walks. Compared to its sister islands (Ibiza and Mallorca), Menorca is calmer and more family-friendly.
Menorca - Balearic Islands
A mountainous region in northern Spain full of picturesque villages, dramatic coastlines, and unique culture. It’s perfect for travelers who enjoy exploring small towns with plenty of charm while also discovering world-class gastronomy, especially the famous pintxos (Basque tapas).
Basque Country
Located in the Atlantic Ocean, Tenerife offers a unique mix of black-sand beaches, volcanic landscapes, and Spain’s highest mountain, Mount Teide. Thanks to its proximity to Africa, the waters are warm and the climate is mild all year. It’s ideal for hiking, adventure activities, or simply enjoying sunny days in a striking natural setting.
Tenerife - Canary Islands
A lively city on the southern coast, perfect for a beach holiday with plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the sea. For those who wish to combine the coast with culture, Málaga is also a gateway to some of Spain’s most historic cities—Granada, Seville, and Córdoba—though visiting in summer means experiencing very hot weather.
Málaga - Andalusia
A coastal region famous for its green landscapes, beautiful estuaries, and some of the best seafood in Spain. Visitors will find charming fishing villages, Albariño wine routes, and a more tranquil, authentic vibe compared to other touristy areas.
Rías Baixas - Galicia
A Mediterranean coastline north of Barcelona, known for its rugged cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and medieval villages. It’s a favorite for beach lovers, scuba diving, and exploring historic towns. The region is also home to Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dalí, where visitors can enjoy the famous Dalí Theatre-Museum.
