MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Downscaling Feb half term break from a week somewhere in theory sunny (Canaries?) to a short midweek break. City or otherwise. Just wife and I, no kids. She does not bike or ski.
Maybe city break as stuff to do indoors in crappy European february weather. Edinburgh, Dublin maybe. Also thought Paris or Barcelona. Or channel isles.
Done Prague, Copenhagen, Reykjavik, Amsterdam.
Where would you go that's relatively attainable and cheapish to get to from a London airport or Southampton?
The parador at Carmona [url= http://www.parador.es/en/paradores/parador-de-carmona ]it's a lovely place[/url] and a change from the usual weekend breaks. Short cab journey from Seville airport.
That's a bit spooky - I was just looking at Seville. Thermal spa in Seville that I quite fancy and 2hr drive to Gib to see some friends for the day.
Lisbon. Early March last year was mid 20's. Enough to keep you occupied for 3 or 4 days, great food and reasonably cheap flights/accommodation. (We stayed at Cristiano Renaldo's gaff, Pestana CR7.)
We stayed there a few years ago, really nice parador, great food and the town itself was great for just bumbling around.
If you’ve never been to Barcelona that’s a good call although it’s better imho when weather is a bit warmer. Lisbon is a good suggestion. Sicily or Corsica ?
Bergamo in Italy, close to Milan, nice town for a base, good train links
