(me) voy de vacaciones en España

Why is it "Me voy de vacaciones en España" and not "Voy de vacaciones España"?

I've learnt: when the action is focused on the destination, you will use the ir form.

Gracias!

Voy de vacaciones en España means, "I'm going to Spain on vacation."

My voy, has the idea of "I'm going away" or "I'm leaving."

So the sentence could be translated as, "I'm leaving for vacation in Spain"
