Where would you go for winter sun in Europe?

[Happybefree]

I’m looking for somewhere I can go solo last minute in January for a week somewhere in Europe - somewhere reasonably warm with some nice walks and peace, though maybe a few cultural things to do. I won’t be driving so limits options for somewhere too remote.

I’ve been looking at the Canary Islands but I really don’t want a resort or somewhere with lots of English tourists (being an English tourist myself ), really want to avoid anywhere with lots of karaoke and bars. I know there are some quieter islands but not sure which and how accessible they are.

Ideally not a city break but prefer that over somewhere really resort-y, or maybe a combination of city and somewhere quieter. Not massively restricted by budget but not £££ luxury either.

Any recommendations please?!

My parents always go to LaPalma at this time of year. I've not been myself but they just use the bus and don't like the Brit's abroad feel but love it there. Might be worth looking into.

Thank you so much everyone, I made the thread quickly and then promptly forgot about it….!!

What part were you in and did you need a car to get around?
