Hello.
we have decided to go on holiday in june! But where to go........ Its gotta be somewhere we can drive to, somewhere a bit lively but not too full of 18-30's where we can relax and unwind for a week, have nice food and a few drinkys in the evening preferably by the sea. We have a teenager and baby will be 6 months old so kiddy friendly if anyone wants to recommend me a place to go. And i dont want to spend a fortune please hope i'm not asking too much......
Ta!

Costa Brava or Costa Dorada (Salou) - cheap as chips, family orientated aswell

Salou & take in Port Aventura - we stayed in the Port Aventura Hotel a couple of years ago - free entry to the park & water park included.

I have a friend with two apartments in Salou of thats any help

Do you know, i dont even know where salou is, how bad is that

Not bad at all actually, but if you're only going for a short holiday .....

Well we always found Menorca a great place. No 18 to 30s. Great for a relaxed holiday with lovely beaches and green countryside. Like devon with sun. Food is good too. Suggest to get a deal look at Daltons.com and try a resort like Calan Porter. Plenty to do but not stressfull. Have a good holiday.

Ok, i have found where salou is, i think its a bit too far to be honest, and i love menorca, its one of my favourite places, but we just want somewhere on the mainland that we can drive to really so i'm gonna have a look around costa brava see what i can find. Thanks for your help.

where are you ?? Salou is not far from Costa Brava, are you coming from the UK or Spain or somewhere else ?

We're in almeria so will be driving, i looked at salou and it said the nearest airport is reus which i know is a long way from us as i have family there.
Geography is not my strong point, can you tell

Ok well Costa Brava & Girona Airport is even further from Almeria than Salou, so I guess It would be cheaper round Benidorm somewhere in that area.

I think Accomodation is cheapest Costa Brava, then Dorada then Blanca then Del Sol, and most expensive in Costa de la luz but is cheaper in de la luz than anywhere for eating and drinking, thats how it looks to me and I done nearly every Costa, lol

Thanks andy, i really shouldn't be allowed to make plans, he should take over but his specifications were "lets go somewhere north". Thats not very helpful is it lol
I shall carry on with my search and hope i dont end up booking us somewhere on the other side of the world..........

If you change you mind and want a week in Menorca let me know, there is a great apartment near the beach for about £250pw. Obviously depends when you want it but good value.

ok, wil do, thanks. (Although i'm bad enough working out where everything is on the mainland, imagine me trying to find my way to an island )

Your bar must be doing ok then hope you find somewhere you like, Benidorm is child friendly, great beach and reasonably cheap, also plenty of bars with entertainment. It isn't too crowded just now either.
