Myself and a friend want to go for 5-7 days to Spain, first week in August....don't mind where we fly to (will prob buy flights/hotel separately but Malaga seems cheapest?) so has anyone got any recommendations for any great hotels? (never been to Spain, don't know it at all) Not too pricey! Or recommendations of cheaper places to fly to in Spain - thanks

Agree with Quids...Costa de la Luz is lovely, though it can be a little blustery.


At the other end of the country, Asturias in the North is stunningly beautiful and there are far, far fewer tourists (you may wish to learn a little Spanish - it will enhance your visit for sure).


Have a lovely holiday.

I love Barcelona. You could go there and to Sitges which is just outside so would be a good contrast between beach and city. Barcelona does have some beaches though. and would make a nice beach holiday.


Near Malaga is Nerja which is a quieter resort. Have been to Nerja twice and it was very relaxing, although I never visited in August. You could do a day or overnight trip to Granada to see the Alhambra. I did self catering both times in Nerja.

If you'd like an off the beaten track for foreigners holiday try El Portil. It where my in-laws and family go each August. Lovely beach and when I'm there I don't meet any foreigners at all. So it's a really Spanish in that respect. The blurb I briefly looked at suggested you would meet foreigners there. That's news to me apart from one Scottish lass in a beach bar. It's actually not too difficult to get to from Faro and the trip is really nice if you take the boat across the river between Portugal and Spain. The village Faro is nice too. Otherwise it's a matter of flying to Seville.


PS I know nothing about the website. There may be others. It was the first one to come up in a search.

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
