Britons planning to soak up a bit of Spanish history and culture this year by booking cheap flights to Madrid may wish to experience La Noche en Blanco in the city on September 12th.
Visitors to the event will be able to enjoy some of the country's most acclaimed works of art against a backdrop of night time celebrations.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the world flock to Madrid as the city's museums and places of interest stay open till dawn, the streets are filled with live music and people take in the grand displays of visual and dramatic art.
As the Guardian's Agnes Poirier notes: "Every year, madrilenos dance in the public fountains and improvise flamenco competitions on cafe terraces while admiring the night's art installations, discussing videos projected on to historical facades.
"This is one not to be missed on any account."
Meanwhile, Spain may also be the perfect holiday choice for golf enthusiasts, as Today's Golfer reported that the country is the most popular destination in Europe for the sporting activity.
