Follow These Tips to Ensure a Great Summer !!

Vacaciones momento de descansoSummer holidays are supposed to be a time of rest and relaxation, but in this time we change our habits . We can Sleep too little, sleep too much, much sun , eat  more… .

That is why  we would like to give helpful advice for your holidays in Habitat apartments, in Barcelona, Rome, Madrid, Marbella o Amsterdam

1 .- Use the appropriate sunscreen: The sun lifts your spirits and gives you vitamin D. But the intensity of sunlight during the summer months can cause serious damage to the skin, it is also an important factor in causing skin cancer. For this reason, it is important to use sunscreen that blocks UV rays. Make sure your sunscreen has adequate SPF. In addition, it is important to protect your eyes with good sunglasses and protect your head with a hat if you spend the day sightseeing and enjoying the many activities that the city offers.

2 .- Drink plenty of water. To avoid becoming dehydrated as the heat makes us lose body fluids and toxins through sweat. To compensate for this you need to drink liquids, water,juices,, iced drinks, soft drinks or mineral water, because otherwise we may feel tired or even lose consciousness

3 .- Eat better and cooler during the summer to avoid dehydration and get more energy. Therefore we recommend the fruit salad and as key elements to your diet during the holidays, for example: tomato, onion, cucumber, fresh vegetable soup, cantaloupe, watermelon, peaches, etc. .. With a diet rich in fruits and vegetables we ensure a holiday full of energy

4 .- A good night's sleep also helps you to enjoy the summer better: If we don’t rest, we won’t be able to fully enjoy all the activities offered by the summer. So, if you keep good resting habits, you´ll be more able to take on a full and eventful day.

5 .- Organizing the trip without stress: Holidays are for relaxing and enjoying, so badly organized a trip can be stressful. For this reason, it is better to have a good plan for your visit to Barcelona, Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid and Marbella, before reaching the city.
First find your accommodation close to places of interest, areas of Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam, Marbella, to visit. So optimize your time and not have stress.
