    Thanks for your responses guys. I have now stubmled cross a similar priced deal to a Santa Susana, just outside of Barcelona! I love exploring big traditional cities, at least some culture!

    Has anyone stayed at Santa Susana?

    As a British citizen, I love nothing more than holidaying in Benidorm, where I spend most of my time my all-inclusive resort getting leathered from breakfast, except for in the evening when I go to the British pub to drink bitter, eat pies, watch Coronation St and be surrounded by fellow Brits doing the same thing.

    That's the great thing about going abroad, you get to experience foreign culture.

    I agree. And it's so interesting to go into a bar in Benidorm and listen to all the ex-pats tell you their stories of why they decided to leave the UK "because there are too many foreigners there".
  • Me and OH went to Tunisia for 5 days which was lovely. Not to far away and weather was gorgeous plus not one chav in sight!!
