There are however, places such as the wonderful province of Granada and its capital city, which shares the same name as the province of which it is a part of that offer something different to foreign tourists looking for an enjoyable and calming holiday in Spain.

Although many people tend to take a trip to various islands and resorts in Spain during the summer months, Spain is also a fantastic choice of winter, spring and autumn destinations to take a break to if you for whatever reason choose or are unable to visit during the summer months for a summer holiday.



Since foreign tourists first started flocking to Spain on their annual summer vacations, the country has always had a reputation for being an idea western European country to visit during the summer months if you are after a cheap and cheerful vacation abroad where you can guarantee decent weather almost every time. What many people seem to forget is that there are many other wonderful areas of Spain which are yet to have been overdeveloped like some of the better known tourist resorts which would have once been former fishing villages and then later transformed in the 1960's and 1970's when they started to become more and more developed until they eventually became the commercialised, developed and very popular and well known tourist destinations that they are today. Despite the fact that tourism is a key part of the economy of Spain and also taking in to account that many of the former rural areas of the company have now become very developed and modernized in the way so as to suit international tourists, there are still numerous areas of this historical and very cultural country that retain their original charm. In many of the resorts of Spain which are pushed towards foreign tourists, these of which cater for just what many of the international tourists want from a vacation on a holiday resort in Spain, the local and traditional charm of Spain has long been lost and there is often no sign of the historical side and traditional culture being or have ever being present.

Due to the fact that Granada is a scenic and very natural area with mountainous terrain, giving it the appearance of a very peaceful and possibly more rural area, Granada also plays home to some of the well known national and international skiing championship tournaments at the nearby Sierra Nevada Ski Station which is where these tournaments are held. In the year 1996, the Sierra Nevada Ski Station in Granada held the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships which was big news for the province and both before and since then it has also housed numerous other well noted tournaments too.



Granada, owing to it having an estimated population of around 240, 000 people according to a recent census, has been listed as the thirteenth largest urban area of Spain. Unlike many other parts of the country, Granada is unusual in the way that it not only incorporates and possesses a lot of traditional Spanish culture, architectural features and other aspects of traditional Spanish history and life, but it is also one of the few areas of the country to possess many natural and traditional aspects of other cultures too. Sure, the tourist resorts that area advertised most often in the holiday brochures in travel agents and so on are very international and attract multinational citizens from all over the world, especially more so northern Europeans however, Granada has for many years been an area of Spain which possesses signs and influences of different cultures in its historic and tasteful architecture and buildings, which just to add were not built for the sake of the tourist industry. Granada is well known for being the region where you will find numerous stunning and very interesting looking buildings and landmarks to see, these of which include many Andalusian Islamic buildings which comprise of a mixture of Islamic and Andalusian styles architecture. One of the most famous buildings of the region is the Moorish palace and citadel of Alhambra which is situated in Granada.

Within the Albaicin area of Granada it is possible to see a concentrated volume of constructions and architecture, representing the Almohad influence which is present here.



There are many other well noted buildings for you to see here in the province, many of which are very historical and are highly interesting places to visit even to those who do not know too much about Spanish history and culture or perhaps are not a keen historian. The beauty and exquisiteness of this Spanish province could easily however change your views on this however,  especially if you were to visit some of the marvelous destinations and cultural areas within Granada's historic districts of Albaycin, Generalife and Sacromonte.

Getting away, seeing a new and interesting part of the world, spending some quality time with that person that is closest to you and having the time of your lives is a great experience and makes as a truly refreshing break as well.



Bora Bora Island is situated in Tahiti in the French Polynesia. It is an island which is a part of the Leeward group which serves as a part of the Society Islands. The island of Bora Bora and the French Polynesia of which it is a part of causes some confusion as to where abouts this stunning island can be found, as it is the French Polynesia, which many often consider to be close to French mainland in northern Europe. To be precise, the French Polynesia is a country within the French Republic that is situated overseas. The French Polynesia is made up of several Polynesian islands all of which are set in the Pacific Ocean, far away from their country of origin - France. Although the French Polynesia is not actually associated with any particular continent, it is in fact a part of the Oceania region. One of the aspects which amazes people most about visiting any of the Polynesian islands is that the only official language to be spoken on the islands is French and each of the islands within the French Polynesia retain and possess much of the French Republic's traditional French charm, tradition and characteristics whilst at the same time being an excellent place to visit, as this collection of islands is set in a magnificent and exotic setting in the Pacific Ocean.

The French Polynesia consists of six groups of Polynesian islands, these of which are the Marquesas Islands, the Bass Islands, the Society Islands, the Tuamotu Archipelago,  the Austral Islands and the Gambier Islands. The largest and most populated of the communes, atolls, islands and island groups out of the several groups of islands which make up the French Polynesia is Tahiti, which is where the island of Bora Bora is located has a population of over 180, 000 residents which goes to make up over 60% of the total population of the French Polynesia. Bora Bora Island is situated within the same archipelago group as Tahiti and therefore makes it one of the more populous and better known and developed areas of the Polynesian islands.



Surrounding the island of Bora Bora is a stunning blue barrier reef and a large, open lagoon too. It is the type of place that people who have not yet visited would dream of and those who have visited and left will be left wanting to come back desperately. As well as being a fabulous holiday destination for those of you who are looking for the most perfect place to spend a romantic getaway with your special someone, it is also an excellent destination if you fancy visiting somewhere more luxurious and exclusive too. The Bora Bora Island is for sure a place that you have already heard about because it is a very major tourist destination that attracts many tourists from all areas of the world who, just like you, want to explore this attractive and luxurious island. Bora Bora is best loved for its exclusive, high class, luxurious holiday resorts which are really second to none, due to the fact that they are aqua-centric resorts and are very popular and admired amongst tourists from all areas of the world. The major settlement on the island is called Vaitape and can be found on the western side of the island, just opposite of the main channel of the lagoon. The central part of the island, in which all of the island is centred around is what is left of the exstinct volcano which has two rising peaks, one of which is Mount Otemanu and the other of which is Mount Pahia. The highest point between the two peaks rises to a tall seven hundred and twenty seven metres high.



Unlike your other holiday resorts and other popular places to visit in other parts of the world, Bora Bora Island is not overly developed or commercialized despite it receiving a lot of interest from people who come to visit. A trip here for many of you will be like a trip in to a different realm, as there are no supermarkets here on the island and most of the produce in the beverages and dishes that you will eat and drink here are likely to come from the island itself and its surrounding waters. This may sound like something of a problem to you but do not worry that your diet will be limited whilst here, as this has been the way of life here on the island ever since it was first founded. In general, the way in which life here on the island of Bora Bora works is that if it cannot be caught from the sea or picked from the land on the island then the island does not have it. With that said however, Bora Bora Island is home to an ocean full of fresh fish and on the land there are an abundance of fresh coconut trees too. The production of coconuts here on the island is a major contributing factor to Bora Bora's economy. Bora Bora Island, which in the year 2008 was found to have a population of a total 8, 800 permanent residents on the island, is considered to be the romantic island of the French Polynesian islands. Situated within a close proximity to the more major islands of Moorea and Tahiti, it takes just under an hour to get from any of these two islands to Bora Bora Island on a quick and stress free flight. From either Moorea or Tahiti you will be able to fly to many other larger and international airports - possibly to your own local airport in your home country.



What makes Bora Bora most scenic and romantic is the surrounding panoramic views which will take your breath away! The lagoon which surrounds the island flows calm and peacefully, as its stunning hues of blues, green and turquoises create an illusion of complete imperfection. As far as accommodation goes, the island is home to a number of bungalows which are used for holiday accommodation by the tourists that visit the island, these of which are often set above the water level over the lagoon and are built upon stilts. It is also possible whilst here to spot some of the native, local wildlife such as various types of marine creatures including sharks and rays. There are trips on offer here which will give you the chance to see these wonderful creatures and if you are feeling adventurous you could also sign up for a shark feeding diving trip too. Other popular sources of leisurely activities for you to enjoy here on the island of Bora Bora include scuba diving, diving and snorkeling too.


           What with all of what Bora Bora Island has to offer you, there is no reason why you should not consider this idyllic destination when thinking about where to spend your romantic holiday this year because it is sure to tick all of the boxes on your requirements and wish list.

Wineglass Bay, Tasmania - One of the Most Secluded and Pristine Beaches in the World

One of the most beautiful places in the world is situated along the western coast of one of the most unique islands in the world, while the striking natural landscapes around this place offer some of the most romantic vistas in the world as well. And you will need only 0.01 seconds to realize that this little slice of a white sandy paradise is the best place for your romantic getaways in an exotic heaven, even while traveling to this place. By boat, land or air - you can enjoy plenty of romantic and stunning panoramic vistas at Wineglass Bay, Tasmania - one of the most secluded and pristine beaches in the world. And once you arrive there, you will see that there is not only a bay with a charming beach. There are also steep and green-topped mountain peaks, breathtaking rocky coasts, plenty of romantic lodges, unique exotic flora and more. Take a look.



A unique location right in the middle of the eastern coast of Tasmania plays a major role for an easy accessibility to Wineglass Bay. It is quite difficult to determine which of the two landmarks is the greatest attraction, the bay or the beach, because they all are equally beautiful. But they also feature a different beauty in the same time. The bay is embraced by this long stretch of a fine white sandy beach, which has almost a perfect crescent shape, while its amazing location along the western side of a tiny peninsula creates a unique mixture of vistas. But why Wineglass Bay is such a unique place for romantic escapes? A unique natural combination of vistas and landscapes apply a major importance, but the best thing is that the beach area is as beautiful, as it is easy accessible. A couple of roads connect the area with the major peripheral coastal route, and therefore you can easily escape even for a short afternoon at the beach. Or, if you plan a romantic holiday or a longer romance with your beloved, or even a honeymoon - then, Wineglass Bay is also an irresistible choice for such an experience. Right next to the northern side of the beach you can come across a small bay-front village, which offers all your comforts to stay, dine and entertain. The blue waters of the bay are tempting magnets for boats and so another magical way to get to this slice of a paradise is via romantic boat trip. The rest of the terrain features steep and green-topped mountain hills, while the coasts along the opposite side of the peninsula are dominated by almost vertical rugged cliffs. But let`s get back to the beach, which is edged by the unique green vegetation of Tasmania, as well as bathed in the sparkling blue waves of the bay.



The beach sensation continues about 2 kilometers from north to south, where you  can take advantage of an unparalleled paradise for your romantic getaways. There are plenty of trails and dusty roads that lead to the beach, while a walk trip within the lush green vegetation is a wonderful way to transport yourself to the exceptional atmosphere in perhaps the most unique island in the world. On Tasmania Island, the coastal vegetation is  presented by a multitude of trees, bushes and other flora species, while these green colours are charmingly accompanied by the sounds of hundreds of birds and insect species. And after a short impromptu trip within the coastal trails, and once you get to the beach - you will reveal a completely different world. Well, only the point of view would be different, because the infinite blue horizon of the bay is limited only by the two green-topped cliffs alongside the both ends of the beach. From the one side, the green-topped cliffs are dotted by the scenic cottages of the village, while the cliffs from the other side are completely dominated by green colours. A great idea is to get closer to the sparkling waves of Wineglass Bay and put your feet in the water. Enjoy its relaxing and captivating qualities for a moment, and then enjoy a romantic walk along the shoreline with your beloved, and with feet in the water. During the hottest summer months (from December to January) this invigorating sensation will be accompanied by a caressing sunshine and an air temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius. It`s not so hot for swimming, but it is not so cold for walk trips. It`s just perfect. The white sands of the beach will seduce you to stop for a while and enjoy a short sunbathing experience with your beloved. It is quite possible to forget about the time and place in which you are, until the end of the day. Then, the sunset offers the best settings for a cozy romance. The beach is exposed entirely to the west and therefore the sunset is definitely one of the best sensations to enjoy along the beach. Add the sound of the crashing waves and the infinite blue horizon, and you may feel that the beach is the only thing that you need for your romantic getaways in eastern Tasmania.



However, there are steep mountain peaks within the southern end of the beach, where stretches Freycinet National Park. These gorgeous mountains enjoy an elevation of over 400 meters above sea level and thus they tower the skyline like powerful beacons of romance. Take advantage of a short hiking trip with your beloved and climb atop the highest peak. The panoramic vistas of the infinite blue horizon deliver a unique sense of freedom, while if you have a camera for taking photos you will need a solid memory card as well. A scenic picnic within the heights is another tempting choice for a romantic inspiration, especially on a clear day, but also when the blue sky is embraced by a few formless white clouds. Just then the clouds create gigantic darker shadows over the green-topped hills, while you are high atop everything, watching the nuances. Within the blue waters of Wineglass Bay you can spot a number of boats, whose white sails stretch like beautiful feathers of romance.



The small scenic village is situated at the opposite side of the beach. It is filled by  plenty of romantic lodgings, such as  bay-front apartments, condos and other holiday rentals, while the modern amenities provide all your comforts. While strolling  within the village you can dive in the true charm of Tasmania, as well as enjoy some of the special local dishes. This village is also  an incredible site to begin a coastal exploration via boat. Boating around the bay is something like a magical way for a relaxation and privacy at once. The coastal panoramic vistas will seduce you to take a photo after a photo, while the water is so clear that you can see a mirror-like reflection of your boat at the bottom of the shallow waters. It`s idyllic.



Another irresistible idea is to enjoy a number of romantic activities within the green scenery of Wineglass Bay. Except for a couple of roadways and trails, the mountain woodlands are completely undeveloped and unrivaled, and so they are best for romantic hiking trips, bird watching or just a cozy leisure below the refreshing shadow of the huge green treetops. The air temperature is quite more refreshing, while the sounds of the abundant biodiversity are captivating. A short impromptu hike trip to the opposite, eastern, side of the peninsula offers a unique possibility to explore another different world. This is a world, where the giant coastal cliffs stretch almost vertically over the crashing waves, while the panoramic vistas of Tasman Sea will take your breath away. Meanwhile, the coastal cliffs are some of the most romantic places to meet the first rays of the warm sunrise. And so begins another romantic day at Wineglass Bay.

           
               Your romantic getaways to Wineglass Bay, Tasmania - one of the most secluded and pristine beaches in the world can easily change into the most romantic getaways from your dreams. It is enough only to take your good romantic mood and your beloved, as well as put all your daily tasks aside, and try to forget about the noise in the big modern city. From its name, to its colours, Wineglass Bay is definitely one of the most beautiful and romantic places in all along the coastline of the island, while the fine sandy beach is something like a natural conjunction between waters, green woodlands and gorgeous mountains. Even to climb atop the highest peak with your beloved is sometimes the best choice to enjoy an absolute exotic romance. Just make sure that the highest point is all yours, wait until the sun sets with a purple glow behind the white clouds on the horizon, and dream of love!
