Thinking of renting a villa in Spain this Xmas?

If it's your first time in Spain over the Xmas period, then you'll notice that Christmas in Spain is not such a big commercial affair as it is in other parts of Europe and the US. Most shops, streets and houses wait until early December before displaying Xmas lights, which is much different to the UK and USA.

If you are planning on putting up a Christmas tree in your rented villa or apartment, make sure that you have the owners permission first. Most houses in Spain do not put their trees up until the middle of December.

If you are eligible, why not take part in Spain's biggest lottery which takes place over several hours from the 22nd December. This lottery draw is called El Gordo, or The Big One!

Many holiday villas in spain have central heating so when those nights get chilly, you can be cozy and warm BUT unlike in the UK, you can generally look forward to a bright and crisp following day.
