Planning a trip away at the end of November with DP and DS (2yo) for a few days of (hopefully) warm weather and pool time. We have loved Lanzarote in the past but tbh the 4 hour flight is now daunting with a v active toddler...is there some magical, closer place with warm weather in Nov/Dec that I am ignorant to?!

No. You might get lucky, but there are no guarantees. The best alternative is to book somewhere that has an indoor pool.

I think if you want sun guaranteed, it's Gran Canaria. Maybe North Africa. Tunisia etc.

What about Madeira? I was thinking of going there earlyJan, anyone had any experience of it then?

Madeira does look lovely, but flight is about the same as to the Canaries. Hmmmn, reckon we'll have to take the plunge for the long(ish) flight!

We went to Valencia last October and was about 30 degrees. Not sure what November is like but certainly will be warmer than the UK I would think.
