I have another request for help.

"We can offer lots of holidays in Spain. See if there are any/some you like in this catalogue."

The only correct answer is "any". Couldn´t find out why.

Actually, both are fine in real English.  Normally, people are looking for just one holiday, so any (one) is more appropriate than some (= several).
