• Tour The most impressive haunted castles in Europe

  • Leisure The most traditional spas in Spain to relax this autumn

We go through part of the national geography and Portugal in search of the most interesting plans to experience Halloween and the following bridges that are coming up.

FROM BRIDGE TO THE BEACH

Autumn does not mean having to say goodbye to the beach.

Spain hides marine corners where the temperature is pleasant during these months, such as the Costa del Sol, the Costa Brava or the

Costa Dorada

.

There, Pierre & Vacances, the leading French group in Europe in holiday apartments, resorts and hotels for more than 50 years, has four perfect accommodations for the

autumn bridges

: the

El Puerto de Fuengirola

hotel (with its

sky bar

on the rooftop of premiere) to the Benalmádena Príncipe or Blanes Playa apartments, designed for a family getaway.

We must add the

Salou Beach hotel,

just one hour from Barcelona and 450 meters from the Capellanes and Levante beaches.

SCARY PORTUGAL

After the success of last season, the Ohai Nazaré family eco-resort (in the Portuguese town that gives it its name) once again transforms its facilities into a tribute to

All Souls' Night

.

Its

glamping area,

its bungalows, its swimming pools (heated), its restaurants, its spa, its games area... Everything will be decorated in the purest Halloween style this weekend.

In addition, it will premiere animations such as a

horror passage

inspired by a

hospital for lost souls

.

The night of the 31st will be dedicated to Mexico and its Day of the Dead.

RURAL HOUSES WITH CHARM

It is time to choose a rural house for a weekend getaway, a bridge or a romantic night for two.

The options are multiplied throughout the national geography.

From the

Hacienda Zorita

in Salamanca, an old estate where even

Christopher Columbus

landed, converted into a luxurious wine hotel with an organic farm included, to the Casa de Aldaca Rural del Jerte in Extremadura, perfect for an excursion in search of mushrooms.

The list would continue with Navia, with views of the Tiétar Valley from Avila;

El

Rincón de Lanzarote,

a modern and minimalist Canarian Eden;

and El Jardín Vertical, a 17th century manor house in

Vilafamés

(Castellón).
