The resort of Puerto de la Cruz is recognised as one of the hotspots for evening entertainment and late night party atmospheres but it keeps this well hidden in the early hours of the evening.

Start the Night as You Mean to Go On

The parties don’t really get started until midnight approaches but Avenida Generalisimo is a great place to start and end your night. The earlier crowd offer a sophisticated atmosphere in some of the swanky bars that adorn the streets but it is a completely different animal after the clock chimes midnight.

In a Cinderella-like style, this part of Puerto de la Cruz shows its true colours after midnight and the colours of choice are neon.

The luminous signs of clubs and late bars brighten up the formerly sleepy stretch and an eclectic crowd arrive in throngs keen for some more cocktails, shots of sambuca and tequila and an MTV playlist turned up to full volume.

Breathe New Life into Old Town

However, this isn’t the only place to be during a cheap holiday in Tenerife. The old town and the area of Plaza del Charco, patrolled by palm trees, is usually alive with a varied clientele, chatting boisterously above the mix of local and commercialised music.

The array of bars and clubs to choose from here varies from the uber indie to the sleek lounge bars and to this end, there are plenty of groups mingling and making the most of the comfortable settings.

Amongst them are a number of iconic sites that families often enjoy visiting. We have picked out three of the more history orientated monuments that help to give Palma such an enchanting exterior.

Cathedral Le Seu

This grand testament to ancient architecture is a beacon for visitors to Palma. With many of its intricate details inspired by the vision of Antoni Gaudi, the beauty of the Cathedral is as arresting outside as it is inside.

Bellver Castle

A visit to this picturesque castle is as much for its own beauty as it is for the mesmerizing views it offers. The castle is of typical Spanish design and allows visitors to wander along its walls or climb the towers to unlock some exceptional views across the city.

Banys Arabs

This is one of the lesser known attractions that a cheap holiday in Palma offers and gives you an insight into a 10th Century Arab world. The enclosed courtyard, is laden with cactus and other exotic plants, which is normally enough to arrest the attention of most children.

360 Tonnes of Sand and a Giant Paella

For the second year running, Nottingham’s Old Market Square has been covered in sand – 360 tonnes of it – to create the Nottingham Riviera. As well as the beach and bar, there will be stalls selling typical seaside fayre, traditional fairground rides and deck chairs aplenty; well enough to seat 320 people.  Plus, get down on Tuesday’s to make the most of Tapas Tuesday, which kicks off on 27 July 2010 with giant paella to serve 1,000 people!

If this beach life whets your appetite you might want to enter Jet2holidays.com and Jet2.com’s competition to win free flights to Tenerife by getting your own volleyball team together.

This year’s event is set to be bigger and better than last year’s and it will be your chance to escape to Spain for the day…in Nottingham!

The Taste of Spain event was a massive success in Liverpool and now The Mound area in Edinburgh will be transformed into a community of colours, aromas and activity with a busy schedule of events lined-up. Plus, there will be plenty of opportunities to win free Jet2holidays.com and discount trips to Spain. In fact, any bookings made at Jet2holidays.com’s stand at the Edinburgh event will get £50 off bookings.

A Family Fiesta in Spain

The weekend is designed for everyone to have some fun in true Spanish style which is why visitors to the Mound will find plenty of food like the giant paella, live music and even some free-style football – fitting considering that Spain are the newly crowned world champions of football.

There will also be stalls and exhibitions from different regions in Spain to demonstrate the diversity of the country.

Make sure you pay a visit to the Jet2holidays.com and Jet2.com stalls as there will be plenty of opportunities to benefit from discounts on Spanish flights and holidays and the chance to win a free holiday.

However, what about where to eat – are you happy with just regular visits to one of the many McDonald’s that seem to be everywhere? The answer to that should be no because there is some excellent cuisine to discover on holiday in Prague.

Be There or Be Square

Wenceslas Square is as iconic as is the stag do culture in Prague and it is certainly the place to be to find some superb food.

Tucked away in the many side streets that reach out from Wenceslas Square are cafes and small restaurants that have menus promising rich flavours and great value. You’ll find that beef and pork form the crux of most Czech menus with dumplings a popular side dish.
