[Travel] Your holiday advice please

[Doonhamer7]

Try going to St Wolfgang in Austria, stunning picture sic views, lovely walks, spa, great food and beer

 

[Weststander]

If you haven't been before, go to Granada. Remarkable place.

There's Moors to holidays than beaches.

There's a cryptic remark...

...are you riffing on 'Suspiro del Moro'?

Perplexed

I went there in 1976, would you rate it above Casablanca?

Never been so not sure but certainly loved the experience of Marrakech

 

[studio150]

Aqaba, steeped in history, windsurfing, scuba diving, and the double bonus of won't be expecting to go there, and it will be warmer and drier than Margate

Friendly and safe?

No. Less than a week and a couple of grand max... in half term too so needs to be unpopular!

British Virgin Islands

[Dorset Seagull]

Did you do the Funchal basket ride?

You should only ever do that in the morning......when you have seen how long they stay in the bar at the top of the hill around lunchtime!

 

[OzMike]

You should tell her not to be so expectant.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Formentera. Very few Brits, mainly Italians. Es Pujols has some amazing restaurants and a beautiful beach. Certainly not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Friendly and safe?

Very safe and real friendly.


Stayed in old town - hotel jardin de le koutoubia- really nice quality hotel.
Quite traditional and with comfort.

Fir a few nights could not fault and I am well travelled and fussy

Friendly and safe?

I personally wouldn't touch any north African country at the moment.

 

[Wellesley]

No need to go to North Africa, when you can just pop up to London for a few days in mid-summer for the same cultural experience. Unless you want the beaches.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

If you haven't been before, go to Granada. Remarkable place.

I’ve been to Toronto, I really liked it.

 

[Live by the sea]

Definitely avoid Dubai unless of course you want to risk 3 months in jail for accidentally touching someone in a bar and the lovely Dubai rulers deem that offensive behaviour.

My recommendations would be Capri on the Amalfi coast, gorgeous scenery, some lovely hotels, nice restaurants, upscale shopping, very romantic, weather should be around 21-25 degrees in May and as not yet high season at that time in Italy, you will get a deal within your budget.

It's also a classy place to holiday.

It's great though

As Granada and Capri have been mentioned, I will throw in Cortina. But don't take the missus, get an Escort when you are there.
