We're desperate to get away in October. Our DD(12) has been really poorly this year & as a family we need something to look forward to & have some down time & some fun.

Ideally we don't want to fly more than 2-3 hrs as she gets very travel sick, less than 1hr transfer. We're looking for self catering so either an apartment or villa with a pool & if possible walking distance to shops restaurants etc. Want a really nice town, with a few things to do maybe a waterpark ...

We've been to Albufeira/Vilamoura in Portugal several times but there's not a lot left to book there. Open to suggestions - have never been to mainland Spain but wouldn't know where to start looking.

Have you been to Alvor in Portugal?

Malaga and Palma are lovely cities and have beach resorts near by. We really liked Torremolinos - much more 'Spanish' than we expected!!

Never been to any of those places. Will check them out, thank you!
