Though food is not really an issue in Spain and as a tourist, you'd probably love to savor the local cuisines, if you're traveling with a family that includes young children, seniors, people with restricted mobility or on special diets, or a large group, one great option to consider is a villa or apartment rental with self-catering. This gives you the freedom and independence to choose the kinds of food that will be most suitable and also cut costs on expensive restaurants where you may end up ordering all kinds of exotic items on the menu!

Though for home-makers and stay at home moms, a self-catering holiday may seem to be another extension of what you do everyday at home, it can really be a lot of fun especially when you're traveling with a large group of family or friends. Chores can be shared and you get to experience the color and flavor of local markets, enjoy trying out local produce and perhaps even take cooking lessons from new friends you make on your shopping trips!

One great advantage of self-catering holidays in Spain is that you're not boxed in by the unique Spanish customs of very light breakfasts, huge lunches and late dinners with heavy snacks and lots of desserts and pastries in between! You can stay with your own meal schedule and this is really useful when you're traveling with kids and seniors. These are two groups who would really appreciate some of the simple and everyday fare that they're used to, without trying to be too adventurous cuisine-wise.

If you've opted for a self-catering rental in Spain, you can be assured that you'll get a great kitchen and pantry set up for you with all modern conveniences, dishwashers, dryers, freezers, wine-coolers and refrigerators. Additionally, if you've opted for help-staff, it takes the drudgery out of the chores of dish-washing, cutting vegetables and clearing up. Preparing and serving the food can also be a great time for family bonding and a cheerful time with friends. It also leaves you free to make day-trips and go on extended picnics to remote locations without worrying about where and what to eat. All you have to do is carry a well-stocked hamper with you and you can eat where and when you want.

On the flip side, if you're not someone who enjoys cooking, and you have a bunch of teens in the family whose sole aim is to head for the beach or the disco while on holiday, you could end up not having such a great holiday yourself. Lay down the rules before you travel and put your foot down if you're spending too much time in the kitchen while the rest of the family conveniently disappears!

Self-catering can be a great holiday option provided you know exactly what you're in for.
