If the warmer and longer days are giving you the travel bug and you don't want to wait until the last minute, now is the time to plan your trip. We've highlighted some of the best and most beautiful locations to enjoy this spring and summer.
1. Malaga
Malaga, the second-largest city in Andalusia, is rich in beautiful beaches and boasts an excellent climate. In this city, summer lasts for five to six months and the rest of the year is mostly springtime. Malaga is also home to many attractions, such as the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle, and the museum dedicated to Pablo Picasso is also worth a visit.
Good to know: if you're looking for offbeat activities in Malaga, Caminito del Rey should be at the top of your list. It is one of the most famous walks in Spain: an 8-kilometre long narrow path that sticks to the side of a cliff suspended 90 metres above the ground.

3. Santorini
This summer is the ideal time to visit the island of white houses and blue roofs. Santorini is one of the most famous Greek islands, small enough to be explored in 4 to 5 days.
