What would the best place be in Spain to spend Christmas?

Question

Decent weather ideal for a family with a young child (4yrs).

Not to long a flight!

I think having decent weather would be a key issue and a decent hotel.

Answer 1

I would recommend Barcelona.

The city is beautiful.

It has a mediterranean climate.

Easy access from the U.K. (fly easyjet)

The christmas lights there are lovely.. In the Barri Gothic on the cathedral steps there is a fantastic christmas market, with ornaments and Creche figures...very pretty.

Barcelona has dozens of things to see and dozens of excellent hotels.

Look up

If the weather is mild enough take your son to Port Aventura Theme Park. (It is open Xmas and New Years weeks).

I hope you enjoy your trip.

Barcelona is a wonderful city to visit!

Answer 2

not too long a flight?

Then It'd have to be along the coast near Alicante.

Nice weather that time of year and not as far south as Andalucia

Edit - Bacelona is great - I lived there for 4 years, but it is rarely hot there at Christmas, you need to go further south

Answer 3

Go to the south. You may not wish it but you will

find lots of Brits there. Get a decent travel agent,

better if you know him so you do not have to go

blind, and he will recommend the best cost/return

ratio. Of course, you can also go to Internet search

before visiting an agent so it will make you sound

knowledgeable. The "Spanish Tourist Board" is

what you need to enter into Google/Yahoo search.

Have a nice holiday!

Seville, or Cordoba both  warm, lively and truly Spanish.
