The long weekend in May is fast approaching. You have already thought, where are you going to spend it? If not, you better make up your mind soon, because the best deals are already booked!
If you have no idea of your destination, maybe you can think about going to Spain. This southern country is a popular address all year round, but it’s worth seeing especially in May, because the weather is already good, but it’s not too hot yet. There is no time to lie on the beach, but a 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 start of your Iberian adventure to visit the two most important cities and perhaps also the most beautiful: 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 a lot of tourists really come to those cities.
In Spain, May 1 is also a day off. It is a business 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 stores and offices may be closed, because many Spaniards are going to spend this period away from home, so it is better to 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 not look for an apartment in Madrid right now?
In Spain, the long weekend in May is called Puente de Mayo, which means May Bridge. 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 the Spanish are still used to calling it Puente de Mayo.
The beginning of May is an incredible period in Spain, a time when you can already sit in outdoor cafes, eat strawberries and participate in night parties in the streets. If you want to experience that, take a look at the available apartments in Madrid and apartments in Barcelona and choose something suitable for you.
