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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
