If you are looking for a flexible and inexpensive holiday, you could do far worse than consider an apartment holiday in one of the chic Spanish cities such as Madrid or Barcelona. There are plenty of Madrid and Barcelona cheap places to stay, and you are sure to find an apartment within your budget.
Why an apartment? It makes sense. It gives you the complete flexibility that a hotel does not. You can choose to eat or shop at one of the many local markets to find fresh and organic produce to eat in at the apartment. You do not have any chambermaid knocking on your door early in the morning.
If you have kids it is great as you can keep them occupied while you sit back with sangria. They are much more spacious than a hotel room so you really do feel at home.
If you are travelling alone, granted, it can work out a little pricey. But if there are a small group of you to share the costs with, then in many cases it can actually work out cheaper than a hotel.
An apartment is definitely worth looking into and costing up, then all you need is to find a low cost flight and you are booked! A flexible and stress-free holiday, so that you can relax after a hard day sightseeing.
