February city breaks

[FalkirkMackem]

Aye, I know, look at me, etc.

But...any recommendations for a long weekend away somewhere in Europe? Bit of culture, history, bars, not freezing.

Where you flying from?

 

[Reptilia]

Going to struggle with that last bit in February. Porto maybe?

 

[MackneyHackem]

Marrakech. If I don't get any work sorted in the next fortnight that's where I'm going.

Edit: it's in Africa iirc. Soz.

Had thought that. Have you been? Better than Lisbon for a few days?

Where you flying from?

Gatwick or Heathrow probably

I haven’t mate, it’s on my list and I know people who have been and rave about it though.

Oh well you're spoilt for choice flightwise. I thought you were on about from up here.

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

Brechin

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Valetta? Malaga?

That’s the issue - choice paralysis when you’re flying from down here

Tbh over the years I’ve always found the smb a great place for travel tips and recommendations - one of the underrated benefits of this place

Seville. Nice city, plenty of culture and will be warm in February.

I would suggest Madrid personally. It'll not exactly be warm but not that cold either. A jacket and you'll be sorted I would imagine.

Malaga is the winner. Great city and it'll about 18-20 degrees.

I take i you have never been to Madrid in February, gets very cold, is worse than here in the UK due to the mountains surrounding the city!

I've been numerous times but never in February I did have a look at the temperatures via Google and it didn't seem too bad?

When I went last February it was freezing and rained every day for a week.

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

I’d give Seville a try. Absolutely stunning city. Amazing food. Could have a teip to Cadiz as well. Some smashing places to visit, cracking architecture, food and drink are excellent.
