Sun and warm - now but not too far

[rupert the dog]

Where's warm and sunny now within a couple of hours flight? Anywhere in the Med? Looking for a week or so to relieve a stressful 6 months. Thank you

How warm? Spain, Italy, Malta, South of France etc all warm to hot now.

Puerto Banus.

A couple of hours is two so Spain or Mallorca. These can also be hit and miss though as while we were sweltering, a friend went to Benidorm where it rained all week.

More guaranteed sunshine comes around 4 hours away with Cyprus and the Canaries but Southern Spain around Almeria (Roquetas de Mar, Mojacar) is classed as desert and it's always been nice when we've gone provied you don't go up into the mountains where it can be more changeable.

We got lucky with Mallorca in April so May should be a reasonable bet and for my money offers the best variety of beaches and scenery.

Coventry and warwickshire are not that great. Try Murcia...

I recommend the Murcia coast road down from San Javier aiport and drop off in Calabardina - a little treasure in the middle of nowhere.

The Algarve.

My suggestion would be Spain too but the Costa Blanca, somewhere like Altea, Javea or Moraira. I was there this time last year and it was ~25C, pretty quiet and the amazing mountain roads were deserted

Hope you're not going to Lorca. Can't believe they've had an earthquake in Spain.

[Cotty]

No im off to Los Alcazares. Makes you wonder if there might be another quake. These things sometimes happen in threes.

Anyway at least the weather looks good for the weekend
