the wife and i are looking for a bit of winter sun at the start of Feb.

we were thinking Marrakech for 4 / 5 nights

looking at spending £300 ish each including flights so £600 – £700 all in

somewhere warm with a bit of culture preferably….any suggestions?

Just come back from Marrakech. Easyjet fly there, so cheap flights should be easily doable if you’re flexible on dates.

Stayed here, http://www.booking.com/hotel/ma/riad-jomana.en-gb.html

2 weeks cost us about £900 (flights and accomodation over christmas and new year) so 4-5 days should be in your budget easily.

Tenerife is nice most times of the year, and there’s enough there to keep you busy.

Went to Lanzarote over Xmas.

The wife picked the destination based entirely on the weather

Was pleasantly surprised by the place, not tacky at all. Good opportunities for cycling, especially on the roads. Quite a lot to see outside the resorts especially if you like a bit of interesting geology but small enough that you can cover most of it in a week.

Me I’m off to Tenerife on Friday, flights a tad over £200 for 2 From Manchester.

+1 Tenerife, got back from there last week. We stayed in Puerto De La Cruz, it’s a big, sprawling kind of a place but well connected by bus to lots of great places and the old town area is nice. There are some beaches too!

I’m off to Marrakech end of Feb, came to £360 for flights and 7 nights 4* accommodation for two.

+1 for Morocco……..mtb heaven 😀

Valencia, Spain
