    Check out the Canary Islands. They are much further south than Mainland Spain or the Balearics. Tenerife and Gran Canaria are a generally more lively (and a bit cheaper) than Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

    Check out the main providers: My Travel, First Choice, Thomas Cook and Thomson.

    For cheapness go for self catering, but consider Half Board as well as breakfast and evening meals are included and can be good value.

    Remember to read review on hotels on tripadvisor as well, but remember to take some review with a pinch of salt.

    A holiday will be much cheaper if you return before the children start their October half term break, so pick your holiday period carefully.

    Whats your budget?
    What board basis would you like?
    What dates are you wanting to go on or is anytime in October ok?
