The May long weekend is fast approaching. Have you thought, where are you going to spend it? If not, you better decide soon, because the best offers can already be booked!
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 it is 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, it is highly recommended for the beginning of your Iberian adventure to get to know 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 these 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, May 2 is also 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 are going 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 the first of May is Thursday or Tuesday, normally most people take a day off from work also on Friday or Monday to enjoy their really long weekend. This year we do not have this situation, but still the Spanish are used to calling it Puente de Mayo.
The beginning of May is an amazing period in Spain, a time when you can already sit in outdoor cafes, eat strawberries and take part in night parties in the streets. If you want to experience that, take a look at the apartments available in Madrid and Barcelona and choose something suitable for you.
