What exactly is a double-page spread?

When you open a magazine/newspaper, the two pages facing each other create a spread. When the pages coordinate, they're considered a double-page spread. It's basically two layouts that coordinate through colour and theme to create a unified effect, instead of just two single layouts that stand alone.
I personally love how a double-page spread looks in a magazine. It creates a great effect that helps the pages flow. Double-page spreads are great for a couple of reasons. First, if you have too many photos to fit on a single page, a double-page spread allows you to spread out a little. They also allow more room for journaling.
