Why do tourists from all over Europe want a self-catering holiday villa rental Spain or a holiday apartment rental on the Costa Brava?

A holiday apartment rental or a holiday villa rental Spain on the Costa Brava is ideal accommodation for those who love the Mediterranean climate. The months of May and June are a great time to visit with expected temperatures of around 23°C and because the weather is more unpredictable in the early season, the resorts are less crowded. In the peak season of July and August, the hot humid weather is often made more bearable by the coastal winds. If you can get away and book your holiday accommodation Spain in the autumn you can expect temperatures as high as 21- 24°C, but bear in mind that October is normally the wettest month.
