"Meinen besten Urlaub hatte ich in Spanien"


Explanation:
There are so many ways to say this, depending on the style and context of the main text, e.g., "In Spanien war mein bester Urlaub", "Meinen besten Urlaub habe ich in Spanien verbracht", "Ich hatte meinen besten Urlaub in Spanien", etc.
I prefer "Urlaub" to "Ferien", unless it's about school holidays.

Have fun and a great Sunday,
Monika.

Explanation:
Ich denke, für eine Unterhaltung ist kurz und schmerzlos am Einfachsten.
So zumindest würde ich es sagen. Die wörtlichen Übersetzungen sind manchmal tödlich...... Ich denke, die sinngemässen Übersetzungen sind einfacher zu formulieren.
Falls ich Unrecht haben sollte...sorry!
