Wherever you’re travelling from Europe, Spain is pretty convenient to get to, which makes it an ideal location for a hen party or stag do. So, best men and chief bridesmaids, here are some ideas of where to whisk off prospective bridegrooms and brides to be.
Barcelona
Perhaps it’s the Mediterranean setting or the fact it’s Spain’s second-largest city. But there’s a very definite vibe to Barcelona. Stags could enjoy a Barça football game at the Camp Nou whilst hens might prefer some retail therapy at the various boutiques in areas such as hip and happening Born.
Benidorm
For that last-night-of-freedom feeling, celebrate an old-school hen night or stag do in Benidorm. Alicante’s leading resort has over 2,000 bars and clubs for the ultimate bar crawl. And a swim on the day following the night before in one of the many Costa Blanca beaches is a guaranteed hangover cure. Stay in a Benidorm holiday apartment to celebrate in style.
Ibiza
From the bright lights of San Antonio to the dimmed-down variety in Ibiza Old Town, this Balearics Isle is a great party island. For a more chilled rather than full-on trip, head out of the resorts. And for a more intimate trip, you could always visit out of season. Start the evening with a cocktail whilst watching the sun go down.
Madrid
Madrid is Spain’s capital city and is the Iberian version of New York, the city that never sleeps, well, maybe apart from during siesta time that is. Head to Fuencarral for the liveliest nightlife.
Benalmádena
If it’s sun and sand you’re after, you can’t go far wrong with Benalmadena, situated in the Costa del Sol. There are even five-a-side goals on the beach for football lovers if you fancy a kickabout. By night, the Marina and Plaza Solymar (24 Hour Square) offers a number of buzzing restaurants and bars.
Gran Canaria
Head to the north and capital Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for a more sophisticated nightlife scene, centred around the old world La Vegueta. If you’re after a more lively break, the south’s Playa del Inglés is more appropriate. Puerto Rico is another resort which is popular with a younger crowd. A good option for both hen parties and stag dos.
Sevilla
There are few sultrier Spanish cities than Seville. The traditional cuisine is a delight, enjoy snacking on tapas as you drink in the bars around the city-centre. For an unforgettable cultural experience, cross the river to enjoy an authentic flamenco show in Triana. Or admire the historic architectural sights. Seville apartments are the perfect place to stay whilst exploring the city.
Mallorca
Palma de Mallorca or Magaluf: the choice is yours. Each has something unique to offer. The beach clubs in the former are great for cocktails, at a price mind. Whereas the various offers in the bars in the latter are rather kinder to your wallet/purse. Experience both places for the ultimate break away.
Canarias
In Tenerife, much like it´s neighbouring island of Gran Canaria, there’s a very noticeable north-south divide. For a more relaxed scene, try capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife and university town La Laguna in the north. In the south of the Island, Las Americas and Los Cristianos are much more lively.
