Top 3 Destinations To Visit In May To Add To Your Bucket List

 Hey everyone, hope you're having an amazing and incredible day. In today's post I'm going to share with you some of the best destinations you can visit this month, May 2024. Where would it be the perfect destination, country to visit in May? 

The Azores, Portugal

The Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal, are an archipelago in the mid-Atlantic. The islands are characterized by dramatic landscapes, fishing villages, green pastures and hedgerows of blue hydrangeas. São Miguel, the largest, has lake-filled calderas and the Gorreana Tea Plantation. Pico is home to the 2,351m Mt. Pico and vineyards sheltered by boulders. Among these time-honored Azores, traditions include such intriguing artisanal offerings as mosaic tiling, ceramics, cheesemaking, embroidery, and much more. As for Azores' history, this tiny archipelago tucked amid the Atlantic has its unique backstory, and it's truly fascinating.

Is it expensive? Despite their remote location and a currency of the historically strong Euro, the Azores are very affordable. The most visited islands (São Miguel, Terceira, Faial and Pico) are slightly more expensive but overall prices are extremely reasonable.

Palawan, Phillipines

Palawan, officially the Province of Palawan, is an archipelagic province of the Philippines that is located in the region of Mimaropa. It is the largest province in the country in terms of total area of 14,649.73 km². Palawan is a stunning province in the Philippines that offers visitors a chance to explore some of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world. From pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters to lush forests and stunning limestone cliffs, Palawan is a nature lover's dream.

Is Palawan cheap? A two week trip to Palawan on average costs around $499 (₱28,211) for one person and $997 (₱56,422) for two people. This cost includes accommodation, food, local transportation, and sightseeing.

Granada, Spain

Granada is a city in southern Spain’s Andalusia region, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It's known for grand examples of medieval architecture dating to the Moorish occupation, especially the Alhambra. This sprawling hilltop fortress complex encompasses royal palaces, serene patios, and reflecting pools from the Nasrid dynasty, as well as the fountains and orchards of the Generalife gardens. Granada is the choice for travelers seeking a deep dive into Moorish history and architecture coupled with mountain views.

Is Granada expensive? Within Europe, which is known to be an expensive region, Granada is a moderately priced destination compared to other places. The overall cost of travel here is fair for the region and comparable to Valencia or Gran Canaria.
