What to Pack: May Edition
As the days grow longer and the sunshine gets brighter, May is the perfect time to visit Spain. With the summer season just around the corner, it’s time to embrace those sunny vibes and make the most of your trip. Whether you're planning to explore the streets of Oliva or chill by the beach, packing right ensures a wonderfully relaxing and seamless experience. Here’s our essential packing list for May:
Your best pair of sunglasses
May sunshine can be intense, so make sure to bring a quality pair of sunglasses. You’ll want to protect your eyes from the bright Spanish sun while still looking stylish for those afternoon terrace drinks.
SPF face moisturizer
The sunny days are only getting warmer, and while you enjoy the outdoors, don’t forget to keep your skin protected. A good SPF face moisturizer not only hydrates your skin but also shields it from harmful UV rays—essential for both city strolling and beach lounging.
Fully charged headphones
Whether you’re listening to your favorite playlist while lounging by the beach or a podcast as you stroll through town, having fully charged headphones is a must. It adds a little personal soundtrack to your holiday, making those peaceful moments even more enjoyable.
Flip-flops AND comfy walking shoes
Flip-flops are great for beach days, but if you’re planning on exploring the cobbled streets of Oliva or taking a day trip, comfortable walking shoes are key. Pack both so you can easily switch between a laid-back beach vibe and an adventurous day of exploring.
Your "I'm ready for summer" vibes
May marks the transition to summer in Spain, so pack your carefree, sun-loving attitude! You’ll want to soak up every bit of the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle, whether it's sunbathing or enjoying a leisurely meal outdoors.
With these essentials in your bag…
you’re all set for a relaxing and enjoyable time in Spain. Whether it's sunny afternoons on the beach or long walks through town, packing smart ensures you're ready for every moment.
