    Im flying to MURCIA/SPAIN in 2 weeks
    Quiet but should be nice weather and very cheap flights/accomodation(£35 return/£100 per week)
    Lots of history and scenery

    Nice. I love going to cultural places.

    Though this time the no.1 concern is to get the vitamin D manufacturing up, and start 2009 well, and for that mainland Spain isn't a sunnier enough winter.

    If you enjoy cultural places rent a place up where i live (Leeds) and be surrounded by every culture you could imagine. Then, go for a quick sun bed every other day and you'll save a fortune and experiance what you want.

    Try gambia, there are some cheapo deals flying from gatwick, but the majority of them only offer B&B, some do half board.

    Tenerife seems like the easiest option...........though Goa or Namibia, or Mexico or Florida............well, i'd go practically anywhere as long as it was pretty much guaranteed 18C+ and mostly sunny.

    Any idea how much a 14 day hoilday in Goa should be??? (if i'm taking a long haul flight i've decided a 10 day minimum).

    By the way, i was quoted £411.91 (return flight is £135) for 11 nights, single room, bed & breakfast, 2 star Acuario Hotel in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife (return flights from Manchester to TFS - 9th-20th January). What do people think of this?

    Not a lot!
    If you want a cheapie, have a look at www.cheapholidaybargains.co.uk Not used them but they seem to have numerous late deals to Canaries from Man 10days for under £300 half board. Doesn't say anything about minimum occupancy. I've never found this a big prob in Canaries in winter when I've travelled alone TBH , as there's loads of spare capacity in hotels then. Half board will save you a bomb on eating and drinking, esp with the exchange rate as it stands.
