The May long weekend is fast approaching. You already thought, where are you going to spend it? If not, you better decide soon, because the best deals can be booked now!
If you have no idea of your destination, maybe you can think about going to Spain. This southern country is a popular address throughout the year, but it is worth seeing especially in May, because the weather is already good, but not too hot yet. It is not the time to lie on the beach, but the perfect period to see the cities and take long walks. Of course, if you have never been to Spain before, highly recommended for the beginning of your Iberian adventure is to visit the two most important and perhaps also most beautiful cities: Barcelona and Madrid.
You should look for apartments in Barcelona or apartments in Madrid as soon as possible, because during the first weekend of May many tourists arrive in those cities.
In Spain, May 1 is also a day off. It is a working day, as in most European countries. Apart from that, in the community of Madrid also May 2 is a day off. During those days, many shops and offices may be closed, because many Spaniards are going to spend this period away from home, so you better think about buying some necessary things in advance. On May 2 you can count on a great party in the streets of Madrid. Many tourists go to visit this city to participate in this event. So why don’t you look for an apartment in Madrid right now?
In Spain, the May bridge is called Puente de Mayo, which means the bridge of May. The meaning of this expression is that if May 1st falls on Thursday or Tuesday, usually most people take a day off work on Friday or Monday as well to enjoy their really long weekend. This year we don’t have this situation, but even the Spanish are used to calling it Puente de Mayo.
The beginning of May is an amazing period in Spain, when you can already sit in outdoor cafes, eat strawberries and participate in nightly street parties. If you want to experience that, take a look at the apartments available in Madrid and Barcelona and choose something suitable for you.
