Remember why you chose Spain for your owners direct holiday rentals in the first place. It was for the people, the culture, their heritage , the cuisine, all of this is wrapped up in a rather large package we call Spain! It's there waiting for you to soak up all you can.

No country on earth is quite as good at enjoying itself as Spain, the Spanish motto is "any excuse will do to have a party" and they are considered the best around. A holiday rentals villa from most owners direct will afford you a holiday to enjoy as well as the local fiesta.

With Spain's rich cultural history, traditions, and many religions, Spaniard's have developed a lot of original celebrations that lead to a tremendous amount of fun. These fiesta's are all based around religion or an historical event but the one thing they all have in common is they take place outside with music, fireworks, food and drink, what a great combination. All of this with a pinch of lively Spanish spirit thrown in for good measure, now we have a party. Don't worry about not being able to find a fiesta on your Costa Blanca holidays to participate in, as much of the Spanish lifestyle is lived in the streets and fiesta's are celebrated throughout the year. Just drive or walk down a Spanish street and notice the Spanish ladies setting outside of their front door. They are just relaxing or preparing dinner while the men stand around talking and most likely drink is involved. Back to the fiesta's, it is said that if you attend one a day you would not be able to see all of them in a lifetime. There are just too many fiesta's you can participate in, so there are choices to be made when choosing your holiday rentals accommodation. Here are a few suggestion to definitely put on your agenda to help in choosing your owners direct villa.

Probably the best and the biggest is the Moors and Christians fiesta. This fiesta is celebrated mostly on the Iberian Peninsula as this is when the Christians finally defeated the Moors and ended their rule of Spain. The villagers dress up in period costumes and proceed to reenact mock battles in the village streets. While all of this is going on there are parades, dancing, drinking and lots of stalls with food on offer. Be sure to get all of the sleep you need before you come as sleep will be impossible while you are here for the parties last through the night for at least a week. You will probably need another holiday to re-coup from this one.

The one festival that seams not to be held for a specific reason, other than it is celebrated on the village's Saint day, is The Tomatina held only in Bunol Spain. For some reason in the 1950's the local village people proceeded to throw tomatoes at some of the village officials. This fiesta has grown into what it is today, just one hell of a party. As in all Spanish fiesta's they must start with a party and here is no exception. The fiesta culminates on the night before the big Fight in the village square with giant pans of paella being cooked over traditional wood fires with lots of drink, music and dancing. As we all know the more you drink the better plans for the next days fight are made. As the sun appears on the morning of the battle a number of trucks roll into the village loaded with 90,000 lbs of tomatoes for this special event. At this point people grab as many tomatoes as they can, being sure to squash them before they throw them. When all hell breaks loose and you pelt anything that moves or not, especially those with cameras or baseball caps on as they are outsiders. After it's all over everyone makes for the river to wash off the red pulp they are covered in, tells everyone how sorry they are, and plans are made for the next years event, and as we know plans are made better with drink.

Fiesta's are, for me, nothing more than a reason for a party, a fantastic one at that. Once you attend your first fiesta while staying in your owners direct villa, you will be hooked for years to come, the only question is which one do you fit into your Costa Blanca holidays schedule to choose you holiday rentals destination. Remember be prepared, be thirsty, be hungry, have plenty of sleep and wear your dancing shoes as Spain is a party place for all to enjoy.

A good place to start is the Internet as it has all of the information you require to have a good time. If you are one of the lucky ones that has euro's to burn during this economic down turn, all you have to do is make a trip to the local travel agent with all of the information you got off the Internet to book your tickets.

Hopefully you know how old your kids are and what they like so you can plan the holiday rentals accommodation around this. Now the hard part, ask your wife what she likes and wants to do. It may get complicated here as you need to integrate her wishes in with the kids. What the heck, just lay your plans out in front of the whole family and let them make some of the decisions. Let's say that after a few altercations you have come up with a plan. Now that the holiday all planned out all you have to do is book and pay for it.

Then there is what Spain is famous for, the beaches, hopefully you booked your holiday villa close to one of those beautiful places. If you're are still undecided about where to go let me suggest a place that can satisfy the wishes of the whole family. Alicante which is located on the Costa Blanca and has just about any type of owners direct holiday rentals accommodation you may require. There are some of the best European Blue Flag beaches to enjoy while on your Costa Blanca holidays. There is an amazing array of water sports and all of the back up facilities one could ask for, all within easy reach of Alicante.

No matter where you book your holiday I am sure that the whole family will experience a time to remember. Just make sure it is Spain, there is no other such place that has so much to offer the family.

One of the questions you have got to ask is what do you hope to accomplish while at yourowners direct holiday rentals accommodation. Do you want to improve your game by attending an academy or do you just need a driving range. All of this information is available on the internet including being able to book your rounds for the entire stay. What ever you decide to do, please don't forget your handicap certificate as they are required on most courses. Now that you have booked your rounds all that is left is what to do and where to stay. If you want to party, as I am sure you do, then check out the fiestas in the area where you have booked your golf, as that is a ready made party. If partying is on the cards, then be sure to make a late booking for golf because if you miss your tee time you will still have to pay for the round. All in all you can have the best of both worlds on a Costa Blanca holidays golfing break.

If I were planing a golfing break to Spain I would look no further than a Costa Blanca holidays villa from an owners direct. Here you have 320 days of sunshine with an average temperature of 20 deg, where else can you get that. I also would schedule my golfing break in the off season as the green fees and holiday rentals or considerably cheaper and lets face it, who wants to be on the course when it is in the high 30's. It's better in a cool bar with a cold drink in front of you.

If I were to suggest a course you can base your golfing break around it would have to be Campo de Golf in Villamartin. It is without a doubt the best course in the region and also hosted the Spanish Open. As you walk down those beautiful fairways try to imagine the professionals playing this same course and what shots they played or what club they used for the same shot. There is 6037 meters of course to be enjoyed in 72 strokes, maybe. As you walk along, take the time to view some of the holiday rentals on the course perimeter. On the course and there is just one hole, among many, that stands out amongst the rest, it's the 303 meter downhill par three with a dog leg in it. Here you can hit a driver as hard as one can and be on the green or not, luck depending. The green is another story as it has a 3ft rise in the middle of it. The last hole can be left to ones imagination, all you have to do is drive over a bunch of trees to a nonexistent fairway.

No matter where you book your golfing break, you can be aasured that an owners direct holiday rentals villa will suit your needs in full and give you a holiday to remember. All you have to do to insure this is plan for everything you require in advance. Included in your itinerary is where do you want to play golf, which final destination for your Costa Blanca holidays you want, and what is going on in the area you have booked your owners direct holiday rentals accommodation in. Some say that there is a life beyond golf, I wonder.
