Reader’s Page Dear Reader,

veryone is preparing for their summer holidays… long discussions at the dining table with the family, in office canteens with colleagues, over coffee among friends… everyone is talking about where to go and what to do there. We at Holiday Talk have been busy hunting for the best places for our readers. We managed to put together a choice of 25 cities and towns around the world. So read, enjoy, discover, travel and write back to us with your experiences.

Flights are actually quite reasonably priced, if you plan a little in advance and don’t try to book at the last minute. Almost every city today has accommodation to suit every budget and ‘things to do’ are aplenty for all tastes, whether you’re a foodie, an adventure buff, a sight seeing enthusiast, a shopaholic, a café cuddler, a bookworm, or just in the mood to put up your feet and let the world go by… there’s something for everyone.

readers’ letters ¨Spain remains a friendly and experiential destination which has been personified in the Cover Story of the last issue of HolidayTalk. Both natural and cultural aspects of Spain have been so picturesquely portrayed in the cover story that makes any human relate to it closely.

The article tells the reader that Spain has something for everyone, from people with cultural interests to foodies to football enthusiasts… It also shows that Spain delivers value for every penny and has a lot to offer to any traveller… Come to Spain, you will feel like you´re amongst your own people… Felices Viajes…¨ Arturo Ortiz Arduán Tourism Counselor Tourism Office of Spain, Mumbai
