Madrid-Barcelona

Advantages: Friendly staff, quick, cheap
Disadvantages: None (well Charles de Gaulle Airport)

...Well this review will be constructed in two parts. Firstly, it will cover Easyjet in a more general sense, talking about it’s services and everything. I will also within this review cover my own personal experiences of Easyjet and tell you more about the quality of service I found. As you may or may not know, Easyjet were one of the very first Low-fare airlines. It led the way in changing the cost of travel to places such as Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Nice, Amsterdam and many more. The idea of Easyjet is that it is a no-frills airline, i.e. you basically pay for a seat on a plane, there is no form of entertainment, no meals, nothing extra, just your seat. Now though this may not suit some on say a flight for two hours to say somewhere like Madrid or Barcelona, I personally find it extremely efficient. The company started out... Read review

Advantages: Interesting, well-organised and well-priced
Disadvantages: Not the first place you might think of to visit in spain

...Zaragoza is not the first location in Spain you might think of to spend a weekend - well neither was it mine. I must admit it was the lure of an REM concert which led me there. And yet travelling is sometimes all about expectations. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to discover Zaragoza ia a well-run, vibrant city with plenty to do and see. Location I thought vaguely it was somewhere between Madrid and Barcelona. Ok as vague ideas go but it is actually quite far to the north as Spain goes.

A trip should set you back around £10-£12. The trains station, Zaragoza Delicias, has been built for the AVE trains (fast link) and it shoes... Read review

Advantages: Hardly any tourists, Valencia is the home of Paella, wonderful beaches, guaranteed good weather
Disadvantages: Can get too hot

...A visit to Valencia, situated on the east coast of Spain, represents a perfect opportunity to get away from the crowds of tourists that are found in most of the country’s major cities. Whilst the attactions of Valencia may not be apparent, Valencia is a great city to visit, you get a true sense of being in Spain. One of the benefits of choosing Valencia is it’s weather, it’s warmer than Barcelona, and cooler than the stiffling Madrid in the summer, and although teperatures do get up to around 40 degrees in the summer, the fact that the city is on the coast means that there’s often a fresh breeze around to cool you down, as well as several beaches too choose form if you fancy a dip. The main Malvarosa beach, is probably the least attractive, (though it beats most British beaches hands down), if you’re looking for something really... Read review
