			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nerja is one of the resort towns along Spain's Costa del Sol or Sun Coast, aptly named for its clement weather and beautiful beaches. Because of this, it is a good idea to stay in a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nerja-apartments.net">Nerja apartment</a> and spend your holidays in Nerja while trying out the exciting activities it has to offer, like those listed below.</p>
<p><strong>Explore the Caves of Nerja</strong></p>
<p> With its remarkable stalactite and stalagmite formations and prehistoric wall paintings in halls with names like Hall of the Waterfall, Hall of Phantoms and Hall of the Lance, as well as the largest calcite column in the world, the caves of Nerja are truly worth exploring during your holidays in Nerja. You can also see the skeletal remains excavated from the cave in the museum just outside the caves or attend a concert or ballet performance in one of its large chambers.</p>
<p><strong>Watersports at Burriana Beach</strong></p>
<p> It goes without saying that one of the things to do in Nerja is to relax or have a splash at its idyllic beaches. In fact, many tourists <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nerja-apartments.net/All-Nerja-Apartments.html">rent apartments in Nerja</a> just for this purpose. The most popular beach is Burriana Beach, which is also the largest in town, as well as the most commercialized. This means that you can easily find sun beds, palm umbrellas, shower facilities and restaurants on this beach or take advantage of its watersports centre and go surfing, jetskiing or scuba diving.</p>
<p><strong>Enjoy a Stroll through the Balcony of Europe</strong></p>
<p> The Balcon de Europa or Balcony of Europe is a wide palm tree-lined promenade built on the site of a 9th century fortress. If you want to enjoy the most stunning views of the city or the ocean, or catch glimpses of the surrounding mountain ranges and even the coast of Africa on a clear day, there is no better place to go to than here. You can also stop by the El Salvador church, dine at one of the fine restaurants on the Balcon or hire a horse-drawn carriage from here to see the rest of the town.</p>
<p><strong>Volunteer at the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary</strong></p>
<p> The Nerja Donkey Sanctuary is dedicated to caring for rescue and retired donkeys, although you will also find horses, mules, goats, pigs, dogs and other animals in the sanctuary when you visit. This is one of the most rewarding things to do in Nerja since you can get a chance to help out by feeding, grooming and walking the animals, particularly the donkeys and dogs, aside from simply petting them. If you want to help out further, you can even adopt a donkey for a year. Don't worry, you won't have to bring the donkey home. You just have to make a donation.</p>
<p><strong>Nerja Nightlife</strong></p>
<p> The nightlife in Nerja may not be as dynamic as that of other Spanish towns, but it is still something to enjoy during your holidays in Nerja. If you're staying at a Nerja apartment near the Balcon de Europa, you shouldn't have a hard time finding a good bar or pub where you can drink, dance or simply interact with the locals, although you will eventually have to head out to Tutti Frutti Plaza or Antonio Millon. If you're staying in Playa Capistrano, though, you will need to go to Burriano Beach or make your way to the town centre, where you'll have a better chance of catching a flamenco show.</p>
<p><strong>Learn Spanish in Nerja</strong></p>
<p> Like many towns and cities in Spain, Nerja has several language centres where you can learn Spanish. This is an opportunity you should seize during your holidays in Nerja since this will help you understand and get along with the locals better. Some language centres even offer excursions at the end of the course, which gives you a chance to practice your Spanish as you tour the town and the best attractions around.</p>
<p> There are certainly many activities you can do during your holidays in Nerja which will help you truly enjoy your vacation. To have more chances of trying them out or make your own discoveries to add to the list, stay at a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nerja-holiday-rentals.net/">Nerja apartment</a> during your stay. There are many great ones available, all of which can help you make the most of your trip.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Visitors to Madrid consider Retiro Park, otherwise known as Parque del Buen Retiro, to be one of its cardinal attractions. In it there are miles of paths and walkways for people to explore, beautiful monuments, a peaceful lake and the home to various festivals and events throughout the year. </p>
<p> It was once the site of a royal palace and has housed many culturally and historically significant buildings both prior to and since it was first opened to the public in 1868.  The Napoleonic wars threatened to destroy the entire palace, but thankfully managed to leave behind many beautiful buildings setting the backdrop for the park and creating a fascinating historical account sure to please any visitor.</p>
<p> Two worthwhile buildings frequently visited are the Palacio de Cristal, constructed entirely in glass and utilized before to hold rare plants and the Palacio de Velzquez, a structure that currently holds art but was previously open to a variety of businesses.  Other famous structures include a glorious military museum by the name of the Ejercito, and another one by the name of Casn, now home to various 19 and 20th century arts. </p>
<p> The focal point of Retiro Park is the Estanque del Retiro a huge lake located in close proximity to the entryway. Not surprisingly summer is one of the more popular times for the park when entire families can be found taking in the beautiful surroundings along the perimeter of the lake. For those wishing for a little activity, you can rent a boat from one of the local vendors there and row around it.</p>
<p> Another beautiful feature of the park is the Rosaleda rose garden, enjoyed by both tourists and natives, as well as the nearby Cecilia Rodriguez gardens and Serrano Street's outstanding restaurants.</p>
<p> Making your way through the park, be sure to stop in at one of the many cafes and enjoy a taste of Spanish food at its best. It's also a place of entertainment and you'll likely see street musicians and dancers, jugglers and fortune tellers alongside the ordinary citizens who are simply out for a walk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you're visiting Madrid, Spain and you would like to view classical architecture in all it's splendor, then you need to visit Palacio Real.  Palacio Real, or the Royal Palace is world renowned for its statues and gardens among other things. The palace, which was built in 25 years, was utilized by an extensive list of Spanish rulers until 1931, and at one time it was the core of sovereignty for an empire in the eighteenth century that governed half of the then-known world.</p>
<p> The palace is so elaborate that you would not be able view its entirety in one just day, though less than ten percent of the palace is available to the public. In its splendor, the palace is made up of nearly 3,000 rooms with 240 balconies and over forty staircases, and one can behold its grand furniture, extravagant decorations, and grandiose ornaments all throughout.</p>
<p> You'll see the Throne Room, from which the plans and strategies of what was once the world's greatest superpower were formulated, and the Royal Armory, which displays a number of weapons and armor, along with a range of medieval torture implements used in the Spanish Inquisition.</p>
<p> In the palace you will also experience the Royal Pharmacy, where you will learn more about past medical customs; The Royal Library, where numerous first editions of critical Spanish literature are retained; and an impressive banquet hall, where many of the most legendary European rulers have feasted.</p>
<p> Outside of Palacio Real, you can walk through the Royal Gardens (which are the most famous in Madrid), enjoy the sight of the Manzanares River, and watch the changing of the guards.</p>
<p> To see all the sights and take in all the history of Palacio Real, a two-hour guided tour is the way to go. The tours are fairly inexpensive at around $30 dollars person. You would be wise to make a reservation to take the tour since tickets sell out fast, especially during the summer season. You cannot take pictures at the Palacio Real, but you can buy postcards and books at the end of the tour as souvenirs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you love the sun, sea and sand, Spain is the place to go for the ideal holiday. The temperatures soar and the sweat drips off the sun kissed bodies on the beaches. The olive skin color natural tan on the sun kissed bodies is enough to make anybody green with begrudge to have the same skin to bear the sun so much. </p>
<p>Yes, it is true that the darker the skin color the hotter the temperature a person can handle. So for those who are really pale in complexion be sure to put on copious amounts of sun block before basking on the stunning beaches of Spain.</p>
<p>The days are filled with siesta and the night's fiesta. <a target="_blank" href="http://greatspaintravel.com/spain-travel/how-to-find-cheap-flights-to-spain/">Spain</a> would basically come alive after lunchtime and then the nightlife would take totally over to complete the day.<br />  <br /> Spain Hotel: Relax And Rest By Day, Party With Fun By Night<br />  <br /> Trying to find a Spain hotel is not that unmanageable at all as there are means too many to pick from. Many a <a target="_blank" href="http://greatspaintravel.com/spain-travel/spain-hotel-deals-making-your-money-go-far/">Spain hotel</a> could be found along the coastlines of Spain itself. Of all the travel destinations in the world, most people either go to Greece or a Spain hotel to book into for their pleasant holiday.</p>
<p>The concept of the slow, laid back by day life and the hectic night life could be one of the main attractions why people find their hearts and souls searching to just experience Spain once in their life time.<br />  <br /> Spain hotel deals can be found all over, from the self catering chalets to the extreme and extravagant hotels that are renowned by most Hollywood stars that frequent there. The list seems endless based on the current lifestyle you live or the style which you are in search of from any Spain hotel.<br />  <br /> As with the majority of any hotels, which depict their originality in culture, the cuisine should match equally, not to mention the hospitality. It would be definitely unfair for any tourist to arrive at the Spain hotel and receive a French greeting or any other for that matter. Of course there are the other hotels available to choose from that would also be listed on the Spain hotel list.<br />  <br /> Spain Hotel: Main Enquiries<br />  <br /> When you search for the holiday destinations remember to always enquire <a target="_blank" href="http://greatspaintravel.com/spain-travel/a-few-interesting-facts-about-barcelona-spain/">about the Spain</a> hotel deals available. Find out what services and types of accommodation they have to offer, such as are they a one star rated accommodation or five star, as this will obviously give you a general idea of what services and quality to expect and also the price for the accommodation.</p>
