hen weekends in spain

Hen weekends in Spain are the ultimate way for all you soon-to-be-brides to lap up that last burst of freedom with your gal-pals (before your hands are cuffed with the responsibilities of married life!) So here are some hot tips to help you make the most of your Hen-do;

Choose your destination wisely.
Hen weekends in Spain are always a blast, but those of you looking for non-stop hardcore clubbing action should head to Benidorm or Ibiza. If you fancy a bit of culture however, mixed with fiery nightlife, amazing restaurants and sunny beaches, then pick one of Spain's spicy coastal cities; Valencia, Barcelona or Alicante. And let's not forget Madrid, the thriving heart of Spain - no beach, but plenty of bustle, atmosphere, markets, culture, paella, sexy Spaniards and nightlife.

Think about the season.
The gorgeous year-round climate is partly why hen weekends in Spain are so popular - an excuse to escape gloomy old Britain and to get yourself looking like a bronze statue of a Greek God by the time you return! So make sure you get what you came for. If it's mid-Winter, stick to the Valencia region, where the Sun never stops shining throughout the year (don't underestimate the chilly nights though!). From Spring to Autumn, and especially in the Summer, everywhere is sizzling hot. The North of Spain, around Barcelona, is a little less so- for those sensitive ones amongst you who look like prawns after an hour in your local park in May.

Just make sure you have the ocean, a pool, or even a stream to dip into for those midday rays!

So you're in Spain, but what are you gonna do with your day?
This depends on who you invite. If you're all young(ish), full of life and up for some outdoor-action, then you've chosen the right country. Hen weekends in Spain give you an unrivalled assortment of heart-racing activities; why not try white-water rafting, a game of paintball, quad-biking, canoeing, a wild waterpark, outdoor go-karting, beach & water-sports, mountain trekking, kayaking or abseiling down waterfalls!? In a group with all your best pals , these activities are so much fun - and the locations that you can do them in are absolutely stunning.

For those of you stressing out at the meer mention of such activities, why not try out something a tad more relaxing, but equally enjoyable like horse-trekking through the mountains, getting pampered at a Spa, sampling quality wines on a vineyard tour, an organised treasure hunt (great way to see a new exciting city) a shopping spree, a murder-mystery evening, salsa classes with cocktails or simply chilling out and getting bronzed on one of Spain's gorgeous beaches.

Hen weekends in Spain offer you both action and relaxation - combine the two and everyone's happy!

What about the nightlife?
Do not fear ladies. There's no shortage of thriving nightlife throughout the country, wherever you may be heading. Most cities and resorts keep it buzzing 24/7. So if there's one thing the Spanish know well, it's how to party. My advice to you, however, is to know your destination in advance - be prepared. Book your
