Holidays to Spain 'can be very beneficial for families'

Families who take holidays to Spain and other overseas destinations are likely to see a significant benefit in terms of their personal health and wellbeing, an expert has claimed.

John McDonald, director of the Family Holiday Association, said British people sometimes underestimate the positive effects of taking a short break.

He said trips away from home over a bank holiday weekend or during the summer are "extremely important".

"They make a significant difference to the health and wellbeing of children and parents, and also have an impact on the local community. Happier families make happier communities," Mr McDonald commented.

The spokesman also pointed out the significance of breaks abroad, such as holidays to Spain, which offer a promise of good weather and the chance to experience a different culture and way of life.

He said: "The majority of people in the UK actually aspire to going overseas. We should always remember that getting to the sun is something that people want to do."

People planning holidays to Spain this year can book Costa Blanca villas to explore one of the most popular parts of the country, which is home to coastal resorts such as Javea and Denia.
