Sunny climate Holiday question.

 

Whats the most reasonably priced and easily arranged (i.e. frequent cheap
flights and easy transport at the destination end) weeks holiday break at
the sea side, in Spain or similar nearby country; for an elderly couple
living in the London area?  Thanks for advice.

mediterranean...

Firstly I'd work out which of the London Airports they want to fly from,
then look online at possible destinations.
Do they want to book each part independently or take a package? If it's a
package then get your travel agent to do the research.

The easiest has to be flying to Malaga and staying at one of the resorts on
the local train service between there and Fuengirola but these are not the
prettiest of resorts.

A nicer idea is to fly to Faro and use the local train to one of the
resorts.  But here you have to catch a bus or take a taxi from the airport
to Faro station (you can get a taxi all the way but it isn't going to be
cheap).  It is possible to stay in Faro, but as it's behind the lagoon it
doesn't really have a beach that you can walk to, but then you can use the
bus/train to get along the coast.  (I can recommend the Hotel Faro for it's
central location near the bus/train station - don't book the Ibis it's miles
from anywhere that you would want to get to.)

Both airport have lots of Easyjet services from more than one of the London
airports

Barcelona has resorts easily accessible by train (and also bus) too.
Pretty easy to take the bus from Malaga to other resorts- e.g. Nerja.

I generally find it slightly easier to get cheaper flights to Barcelona
than Malaga but YMMV.
