architecture of the towns or eating and drinking<br />

peaceful holiday, opt for Menorca, stretching<br />
just 10 miles wide.<br />
Visit the Canary Islands throughout the year and<br />
enjoy excellent cuisine, and family-friendly<br />
beaches that are great for couples too. Lanzarote,<br />
Tenerife, and Gran Canaria are the largest<br />
islands, with thriving beach resorts full of activities,<br />

Planners, come in, offering honest and helpful advice to find you that perfect holiday.<br />
We've travelled extensively across <strong>Spain</strong>, giving us unparalleled knowledge of our hotels<br />

"I used to live in <strong>Spain</strong>, so I know there is much more to Andalucía<br />
than just the sunny Costa del Sol. You can really get the sense of<br />
the region by extending your beach holiday and hiring a car.<br />
We've put together an eight-day itinerary showcasing the best of<br />
the area, staying each night in a unique historical house known as<br />
a Parador. Anything from a former palace to an ancient convent or<br />
a medieval castle, these historic buildings offer great locations and<br />
plenty of charm alongside modern facilities and fabulous dining."<br />

TENERIFE<br />
Blessed with year-round sunshine, ‘the island of eternal<br />
spring’ is ready for your next luxury escape. Whether you are<br />
travelling with your family, on a romantic couple’s holiday or<br />
in a group, you’ll find wonderful attractions waiting for you<br />
here.<br />
If golden sandy beaches are calling your name, then look no<br />
further than Costa Adeje where you’ll find a thriving hub of<br />
resorts filled with amenities for everyone as well as a plethora<br />
of restaurants, bars and luxury hotels. If boutique hotels,<br />
rugged cliff faces and a cultural escape take your fancy, then<br />
Guia de Isora will surely delight. For the history buffs amongst<br />
us, a visit to Puerto de la Cruz should definitely be on the<br />
cards as you take a step back in time in Tenerife.<br />
Great for all year round sunshine including winter sun!<br />
VISIT: The tallest peak in <strong>Spain</strong>, Mount Teide, towers<br />
over Tenerife, and comes surrounded by a wild volcanic<br />
landscape. Take a cable car up to its highest point and<br />
you'll be treated to views over the island and across the<br />
water to neighbouring Gran Canaria and La Gomera.<br />
Even the drive up to the cable car is scenic.<br />
TRY: Cabra con papas (goat stew with potatoes), vieja<br />
(parrotfish) and puchero, a mix of spicy chorizo, beans<br />
and potato.<br />
TOP TIP: “Try whale and dolphin watching. The clear<br />
waters off Los Gigantes are home to a variety of species of<br />
whales and dolphins - particularly bottlenose dolphins and<br />
pilot whales. Take a boat to go and try and spot them in<br />
their natural habitat.”<br />

MENORCA<br />
Holidays in Menorca are for couples, families, and nature<br />
lovers looking for somewhere quiet. The Spanish Balearic<br />
island of Menorca is only 30 miles long and 10 miles wide –<br />
large enough to offer lots to do, but keeping everything within<br />
reach. Boasting over 100 beaches, many Blue Flag, this is the<br />
place to visit coves with white sand and a calm, turquoise<br />
sea. Some of the best beaches include Cala Macarella with<br />
its backdrop of pine trees, beaches of golden sand –<br />
including Playa de Cavalleria, or rocky adventure<br />
playgrounds like Mitjana. A haven for those who love to walk,<br />
Menorca holidays offer plenty of places inaccessible by car.<br />
<strong>Sovereign</strong> has plenty of luxury to offer in Menorca – fabulous<br />
hotels with marble décor, luxury spas, and extensive wine<br />
lists, simply a short walk from excellent seafood restaurants,<br />
for example, overlooking the marina of Cala n Bosch.<br />
VISIT: Meander the unspoilt, gentle hills of the island’s<br />
interior, hike up to El Toro, the island’s highest point, walk<br />
from beach to beach the entire length of the coast, or<br />
explore the UNESCO designated S’Albufera des Grau<br />
lagoon and its unfrequented natural park and coastline.<br />
TRY: Caldereta de llagosta is a local favourite – a<br />
mouth-watering lobster stew served on thin toast.<br />
Menorca also lays claim to mayonnaise, so be sure to try<br />
some – it’s quite different to anything you may have<br />
bought in a jar.<br />
TOP TIP: “A must while in Menorca is a visit to the gin<br />
distillery in Port Mahon. You can see where the gin is<br />
produced, try out different flavourings (from aniseed to<br />
peppermint schnapps) and buy a bottle or two to bring<br />
home.” - Leanne, Personal <strong>Travel</strong> Planner

COSTA DEL SOL<br />
<strong>Luxury</strong> holidays in Costa del Sol don’t just centre around<br />
Marbella. Simply pitch your swimming towels along one of<br />
the coast’s public beaches where the sand is still soft, the<br />
water warm, and amenities available. If you’re looking for<br />
water sports, just ask. A wander along the sand and you’ll<br />
find invitation-only beach clubs where celebrities and the<br />
very wealthy hang out, attracted to Costa del Sol by its<br />
beauty and opulence.<br />
Nightlife along the Costa del Sol is varied, with plenty of<br />
cosmopolitan bars to enjoy, and restaurants staying open<br />
until late. Find a table overlooking one of the marinas,<br />
admiring the many and varied yachts moored there. Stroll<br />
around the old town, dip into shops selling chic brands, or<br />
others with more reasonable price tags, before settling down<br />
to a cocktail in one of the bars.<br />
VISIT: The city of Seville makes a great day trip from the<br />
Costa del Sol. Tour the Gothic Seville Cathedral, peering<br />
up at the minaret that was recycled into a bell tower.<br />
TRY: Golf! With over 60 golf courses, golfers don’t need to<br />
travel far from their resort in Costa del Sol in the region of<br />
Andalucia.<br />
TOP TIP: “No trip to the Costa del Sol is complete without<br />
a visit to the amazing city of Malaga. The array of tapas<br />
bars and sherry bodegas is astounding. The most famous<br />
is El Pimpi near the Plaza Merced. Here you can find<br />
photographs of famous visitors to the bar, including<br />
Antonio Banderas and Tony Blair.” - Helen Lippe,<br />
