Spain is a country that offers a host of charming locations. In addition, given its size, weekend getaways are an ideal plan to break away from your routine and explore areas you probably didn't know about. Therefore, in this article we propose some plans for a weekend break that will allow you to create unforgettable memories, from villages full of history to natural landscapes that offer unique views. Do not hesitate and start exploring.
Soria, the little-known weekend getaway
We start the list with a province that you may think has nothing to offer, but nothing could be further from the truth. Soria has a special charm for any visitor. It is especially recommended to visit in autumn, because at this time of the year you will be able to enjoy not only the natural scenery of the season, but also the mycology. In Soria mushrooms abound at this time of the year and it is a very good time to see how this ingredient is incorporated in your gastronomy.
In addition, another unique natural spectacle of autumn is listening to the bellowing of the deer, which is their mating call. It's curious and something you've probably never heard if you live in a city. The ideal place to see this natural spectacle is on the slopes of the Urbino peaks, or in municipalities such as Covaleda or Duruelo.
We recommend you to rent a car in Zaragoza and enjoy a wonderful route to Soria and its surroundings!
Segovia, a weekend break with heaps of history
Another of the best spots for weekend getaways is not far from the capital, Segovia. Besides, any time of year is a good time to visit and enjoy all it has to offer. You can start with the Hoces del Duratón, recognized as one of the best landscapes in the country. You can even rent a canoe to tour the area and enjoy the perspective offered by this area from this tributary of the Douro River.
On the other hand, you can't miss villages like Pedraza or Sepúlveda. The latter has been declared a historic-artistic site and is also part of the association of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Undoubtedly a town to visit and refuel with a taste of the local gastronomy.
For its part, the town of Pedraza has been declared a Monumental Site and also forms part of the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain Association. Strolling through its streets contemplating the noble houses will transport you to another era. Among many other things, we recommend you visit its main square, the church of San Juan or visit the old jail. Also, both Sepúlveda and Pedraza are not very large towns, so you can combine the visit to these places in one of your weekend getaways.
Albarracín, the jewel of Teruel
This town is considered one of the most spectacular in the country. It is another place where you can feel history in its purest form as you walk through its medieval streets, its old houses and its church.
In addition, it is advisable to take a short walk along its walls to have an impressive panoramic view of this town that deserves a place of its own. Also, to learn all its history in detail, the best thing you can do is visit the municipal museum and the noble house-museum of the Pérez y Toyuela Family.
What’s more, you can take advantage of this getaway to learn a little more about the province of Teruel, making a trip through the Sierra del Albarracín or visiting the city of Teruel itself, which has been declared a World Heritage Site.
Cádiz, sun and beach getaway
If what you are looking for is more focused on spending a few days relaxing on sandy beaches while tanning in the sun, Cádiz is definitely a great option. However, it would be a mistake to stick just with this plan, because the great thing about this area is that it also offers places where you can immerse yourself in history with towns like Medina Sidonia. In addition, it is also a great option for anyone looking for a nature-focused getaway. In that sense, the cork oak forests of Cádiz will more than meet your expectations, offering several hiking trails in which you can enjoy its natural landscapes and local fauna.
In this case, you can also rent your car or camper or a motorcycle in Seville and enjoy a dream route between Seville and Cádiz.
