Travel Matters

Cape Verde and beyond

By the time you read this, your Christmas plans will be coming together and you’ll be running frantically around the shops finding the last of the stocking fillers for your little treasures. If you are planning to stay in the UK this Christmas break, I am convinced you will be seeking some blue skies and warmer weather for early next year. Where to go that doesn’t involve long flights yet can guarantee good weather? I have picked a couple of destinations which are less than 6 hours away.

Abama - where is that?

I am very excited about this new place I have just been told about. The Canary Islands are a great destination for those seeking some wintersun. There are some parts of the islands which have been spoilt by the mass markets - do I sound like a snob? I probably do, but if you, like me, get put off by the Canaries reputation, you are going to love this new resort.
