Guardian Travel Launches Competition for Unique Spanish Travel Tips
The Guardian Travel section is calling on UK residents to share their favourite hidden gems and lesser-known discoveries across Spain for an exciting competition. With overtourism often dominating headlines in popular coastal areas and islands, this initiative aims to highlight the country's diverse offerings beyond the well-trodden paths.
Prize Details and Entry Requirements
Participants have the chance to win a £200 voucher for Coolstays, a global property company with over 3,000 accommodations worldwide. The competition is judged by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, ensuring expert selection of the most compelling tips.
Entries should focus on personal recommendations, such as:
- Perfect beachfront cafes or secluded beaches
- Overlooked cities or underrated cultural venues like museums and galleries
- Beautiful walking routes or immersive back-to-nature experiences
Tips must be concise, around 100 words, and can include relevant photos, though judging will primarily be based on written content. For legal reasons, only UK residents aged 18 or over are eligible to enter, with anonymity permitted if desired.
Competition Timeline and Publication
The competition closes on Monday, 30 March at 10am BST. Winning entries will be featured in the Guardian Travel section and on its website, providing exposure for unique travel insights. Participants are encouraged to review past winners and terms and conditions for guidance.
This opportunity not only rewards savvy travellers but also promotes sustainable tourism by encouraging exploration of Spain's quieter, yet equally captivating, destinations.
