If you're a family of walkers, U Track's Algarve itinerary starts in the pretty town of Silves and ends in the village of Sagres, with up to five hours a day walking through orange groves and valleys, and along ancient paths of the Cape St Vincent national park and coastal routes. The seven-night trip costs £690, including B&B in small family-run hotels. Both trips are available half-term week.

Sounds too energetic? The Algarvean eco-retreat Muxima ( i-escape.com/muxima ) is an idyllic, super-child friendly cluster of African-inspired guest houses, an hour's drive from Faro, run by a couple with two children. Set in a forest but close to the beach, you can also try your hand at archery and there are (free) mountain bikes available. Booked through i-escape , a week's stay costs £244pp, based on two sharing a double

Campervanning across Spain

Wicked Campers' (0808 234 8461, wickedcampers.co.uk ) vans are pretty gaudy, covered in graffiti-style designs, but the kids will love them and as cheap trips go, this is a great option for families with an adventurous spirit and/or who love Spain. You can pick up in either Barcelona or Málaga and drop off in the same place, or drive the length of the country by picking up in Málaga and dropping off in Barcelona seven days later, with no extra charge (you can usually do it the other way round, too, but there is no availability next week).

large villas to rent | Vacation Villages

Sometimes a getaway can be difficult to acquire. Well, a getaway that’s desirable at least.

Anybody could rent an apartment or hotel stay in a town where they don’t really want to be. For some, a vacation is a vacation – anywhere will do. For others the place has to be perfect

For those that want a perfect place, they should take thought into villas to rent in Costa del Sol.

Costa del Sol is a beach area in the southern part of Spain. The area encompasses many small town and several fantastic beaches (of course). It’s a popular resort area for anyone looking to vacation, or even potentially live.

For those looking to vacation in Costa del Sol. Then that person should check out the villas to rent. A villa is much like a home in terms of living quarters, but exceptionally luxurious. The ones in Costa del Sol are particularly nice, which is why people keep coming back to this destination.

I’ve been able to secure an example of a villa for rent in Costa del Sol. The villa is 5 bedrooms with 5 bathrooms, which makes it ideal for a large family getaway. It comes with its own garden and private swimming pool, and a large terrace for sunbathing and tanning. It can get pretty toasty in Costa del Sol so the villa is equipped with full air-conditioning to keep you cool. The kitchen is large with a breakfast bar that can sit up to 6 persons. The view from the room is astounding as you’ll be able to see northern Africa on a clear day.

Perhaps the most convenient part of the villa, although it has its own pool, is just a two minute walk from the beach. Just two minutes! Equally convenient, the town of La Cala is a mere ten minute walk from the villa and boasts bars, shops, and restaurants too.

Sometimes though, we just want to relax and perhaps watch some TV. Does the villa have that? Of course it does! In fact, it has satellite TV, a DVD player, and a music system as well.
