Granada
The Spanish city of Granada is located in the south-east of Spain and is famous for its Alhambra Palace, flamenco dancing, and gratis tapas with every drink.
Granada is very close to the Sierra Nevada mountains, which are a great escape from the high temperature of summer and for winter sports come snow season.
Not only that but Granada is a short journey from the coastal towns of Malaga and Marbella so it’s not unheard of that Spaniards are skiing in the morning and sunbathing a night!

IBIZA
There is nowhere else in the worls quite like the white isle, Ibiza.
Where else can you drink cocktails on the Sunset Strip in San Antonio, party at a superclub until dawn then catch the sunrise from Playa D’en Bossa on the other side of the island?
