Where the hell am I going on holiday this year?
Thoughts turning to summer holidays, and of course last year we holidayed in Spain several times. Now I'm here in Spain, where do I go ..... it certainly won't need to be a holiday looking for hot weather which is the usual stipulation.
Where do you lot go? My solicitor says she always goes somewhere cold!! |

Rosemary Seriously, Benidorm is a very nice place to visit out of season, but I wouldn't like to stay there for more than a day trip OR go there in the UK holiday period. |

If I had the $$ and the time, I'd love to spend a month in a caravan, spending a week each in Lleida-Huesca, Euskadi, Asturias/Cantabria, and Galicia. As it is, I will stay home and work, so that Mrs. IP and IP jr. can go this month...sniff, sniff. |
Re: Where the hell am I going on holiday this year?

Re: Where the hell am I going on holiday this year?
I actually thought about this as part of my relocation considerations to the costa del sol. And the costa del sol offer such great holiday destinations which arent too far away. First you got the skiing resorts up north, then you got the algarve and morroco. Fantastic, and malaga airport will take you anywhere in europe not too far such as italy etc. Awesome :).. or take a ferry to majorca or something hehe.

Where do you lot go? My solicitor says she always goes somewhere cold!! I reckon a complete change would be a cruise around Iceland , i watched a holiday program and it looks pretty cool if you pardon the pun .. cruise around and see all the Galciers etc.. Apart from that a shopping trip to Turkey Or back to Uk for the greenery Or USA ... |

Come to Norway, you'd be surprised how warm the summer is

Re: Where the hell am I going on holiday this year?
Somewhere nice and warm, but not too hot in the summer?
Try Sweden. A very Beautiful country with great friendly people, and not as expensive as you may think.:) You can always take the boat to Norway for the cheap booze & ciggy's:D |

Have you ever bought a drink in Norway :D I spent a week in Bergen some years ago and 6 small bottles of beer in a local bar cost us £24. A meal for 4 with drinks cost £350+ in the local hotel.
But it's not the culture that us brits have where everything is based around drink or the pub, (my town doesn't even have one!!) but when they do drink, look out! This Easter we went to the OH parents, and in that area they have something called the creep and drink..basically there's an ad in the paper a few days before which tells you where to meet up, there were about 400 people in the end, loaded up with backpacks full of booze, we walked eventually we ended up down the beach, with massive sound system and bbq, it was great fun, although it started at 10am and we were blotto by about 6...and then did it again on saturday!!!! oooo can't wait to get my visa!!! |

No my friend, you take the boat to Sweeden for the cheap stuff, it's more expensive here....and much more beautiful:thumbsup:
My brother and sister-in-law live in Oslo and they're always telling my mother that they're off to Sweden for cheap booze and ciggies ;) |

It's one of the first things Michael found out.....and we usually are able to outdrink the Norwegians too *lol* Don't know what that really says about us, but it's a social thing ;) |
Re: Where the hell am I going on holiday this year?
What's the place my Swedish friend is always visiting for his cheap booze & ciggies? he gets the boat to somewhere in between Sweden & Norway which seems to be some sort of duty free haven.:)

Salvadore Dali ...... one of my favourite artists ... lived in that area and I think had a home in peniscola which is open to the public
Went to the Dali gallery in Florida and it was stunning, St Petersburg iirc Thought it was fab when we visited! Combine that with the Familia Sagrada church (Gaudi) and it is sure bliss! I could quite happily live in Barcelona if finances permitted. |

Barcelona is on our list for the summer ;) I think he's one of the Masters! You will love Barcelona, but try not to go during July/August. Hotels are very expensive and it is extremely busy and very hot. Their underground train system is brilliant too. We parked the car in the hotel parking and went everywhere by train or walked. |

I would explore Spain perhaps stay in a 5 star hotel on the coast or there is even UK, I hope to come back for holidays to Lake District/Yorkshire or Northwest where I'm from. Mind you its the cost of the UK though it is expensive to holiday here. Helen |
