Where to head?

Post by gazman » Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:31 pm

I know its well in advance, but with this shitty weather im looking at booking a holiday for next summer but im not too sure where to head for so any advice would be fab.
Ideally it should be family themed (the kids will be 5 and 6) and not be in the middle of nowhere as I like to potter around with my dark shades on viewing the sights so to speak.

Im looking into the canaries. Done Grand Canaria and Tenerife back in the day, but quite fancy Lanzarote or Fuerteventura.

Can recommend Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote. If it was me I'd be going back to Tenerife, though. You can't go wrong with Las Americas!

Depends on your budget........

For a cheapy i'd recommend salou, cambrils or la penida. Couple of cracking waterparks nearby and the prortaventura theme park.........kids will love it.

Already mentioned if you gave a few grand spare.....fuck off to Florida!

Florida is the plan for a couple of years time when the kids are slightly older. Seen a decent place in Lanzarote thats quite a good price.

See my above then mate........portaventura is excellent, you can stay on the park but its not cheap....Salou is canny but a bit chavy. Try la Pineda or Cambrils either side...
