Valencia vs Catalonia

[Southern]

Thinking of going to Spain for the first time in the last week of May.

Anyone been to either of these places at that time? I am wary of the possible cloud and rain in Catalonia.

If going to either these regions, anyone able to suggest best holiday resorts? I plan to go with Thomson. Just need sun, warm weather, not being in the middle of nowhere and reasonable transport links to the main city. Not too bothered about restaurants or nightlife.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Lived in Catalonia for 7 years. 300 days of sunshine, you'll be warm and toasty in may. The rains, and they can be biblical are around late august early september if you're lucky. Transport links are generally very good, cheap, comfy and on time. If you want any pointers for good places in Catalonia PM me.

Valencia is absolutely stunning. Jalon valley is quite possibly the most beautiful place on earth. Amazing Bodegas and food and countryside bathed in sun for most the year. Hire a car though.

Not keen on driving, prefer walking and public transport for that week

Would you say it's the best Costa Dorada resort ? How do you compare it to the others? I'd prefer to be relatively close to Barcelona.

went to Valencia once, it pissed it down all day. Miserable.

Lloret is in costs brava, if you're going to that area go to Tossa De Mar.
