Hi all, got a week off at the end of this month. Was just going to get some jobs done but someone suggested going away alone for maybe 3-4 days.

I quite fancy it now but my budget will only be £200-£300 max I think as it's short notice. It's likely the only time ill get away this year. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm in Bristol so going from Bristol airport would be handy. I'm 25 but don't fancy the usual 'lads holiday' destinations as I've done that. Thanx!

Going to be very tough at that budget, especially considering it'll be school holidays and peak season

Barca.

Always Barcelona, best place on Earth for a bumble around.

Don't think you have any chance of getting away for 3 or 4 days on that budget, even in the UK.

Personally if it were me I would thow a tent in the boot and head up to the highlands.

A 5 minute look on Skyscanner brings back nothing cheap.
Flight alone is looking like £150+ to Barcelona, one of the cheapest flights too.

Girona is the cheap airport near Barca, Bristol Girona on Ryanair is £95 leaving Sunday 21st and coming back on Thursday...

Failing that I'd go with the tent and beach/highland option, particularly given how good the weather is.

Can you make it to Croatia, cheap as chips once there and it's a Ryan destination?

Having just looked and booked the family for August return flights (no bags) can be had for <300 but somewhere to stay, travel when there, food etc would blow the budget somewhat.

Actually it was Wizz Air (easyjet?) that came the cheapest to Split/Zadar

Have a look at www.vueling.es. Fly from Cardiff and you can maybe get a return flight to Barcelona for around £165.
