When it comes to booking holiday homes in Spain, one thing's for sure – it's all about location, location, location. Before you start planning your itinerary, check out our list of the five top destinations for a fabulous Spanish holiday.

Granada

While many of Spain's popular destinations feature gorgeous beaches, Granada is a mountainous gem that combines a unique Arabic feel with rich history and the stunning Sierra Nevada Mountains as a backdrop. If you choose this as one of your top choices for holiday homes in Spain, you'll have plenty to do and see. Top attractions include Sierra Nevada National Park, the Moroccan shops in the Alcaiceria, Arab bath houses, the narrow cobblestone streets in the charming Albaicin neighborhood and – of course – the massive and historic Alhambra palace.

Malaga

Once considered Spain's most underrated city, Malaga is quickly becoming one of the country's most popular tourist destinations. The capital city of Spain's Andalusia region is where Pablo Picasso was born. It's also a vibrant cultural destination on the coast, with many museums, restaurants and tons of shopping at the reimagined port. Malaga has it all – hip foodie hot spots, beaches and a history that spans more than 3,000 years.

Barcelona

Part major metropolitan area, part gorgeous European beach destination, Barcelona offers a little something for every type of traveler. From shopping and museums to unique eateries and restaurants serving up everything from picnic fare to refreshing pitchers of sangria, there's nothing you won't find in this Catalonian city. Barcelona is known as the cultural capital of the country, and it offers a variety of charming neighborhoods, stunning architecture and plenty of outdoor recreation.

Madrid

Why not rent holiday homes in Spain's capital city? Madrid is the largest city in Spain, and it offers a bustling atmosphere along with famous artwork and incredible architecture. But it also offers travelers opportunities to relax and absorb the culture. Rustic cuisine, al fresco dining and relaxing in Parque Retiro are a few favorites among visitors and locals alike.

San Sebastian

Many travelers overlook this sunny beach destination on Spain's northern coast, but the locals know just how special it is. San Sebastian offers the perfect trifecta for travelers on holiday: gorgeous beaches, mountains with hiker-friendly trails and stunning views, and a restaurant scene that keeps foodies satiated with tapas, cocktails and so much more.
