A challenge for all you bargain hunters

Hello,

It is my boyfriends birthday in July this year, being the super girlfriend I am I would really like to take him away on holiday, problem is I am currently on a teacher training course and hence have next to nothing income wise. I have worked out that I could afford around £500 to book something.

Looking at the 10th of July for 5/7days, just wondering if anybody has any ideas?

P.S. We're not the beach type, much prefer walking around exploring, we went to Paris last year.

Any ideas anyone?:o

Where can you fly from?
So a city break would be ok?

We live in the North East so Newcastle, Durham Tees Vally or Manchester ideally

What about going to Barcelona for five days? There is loads to see, the nightlife is lively and there is a beach if you fancy a paddle in the Med. Transfers from BCN are easyby bus.......get yourself a guidebook.

Loads of deals to be had depending on what type of accomodation you'd like.

You can stay at the Barcelona Princess booking through Expedia - 4* hotel in the middleof the city for £511 for the two of you although if you wanted a lesser hotel you can go for cheaper.
