Costa de la Luz in late October for half-term sunshine?

Has anyone been to Costa de la Luz in late October? We'd like some half term sunshine but don't want to go to canaries or outside of Europe - any advice appreciated! I'm just not sure it'll be warm enough!

I've been to southern Spain for October half term but can't remember the exact location as it was several years ago. Don't bet on good sunshine in October. We did that and it rained all week. Bugger all to do and we had to find a shopping centre to buy warmer clothes for the kids.

Oh gosh really! I'm so glad you told me. Thank you. Not sure what to do then really - taken the whole week off but don't want to spend a fortune travelling too far!

Egypt - Hurghada (so far away from any conflict) is pretty safe for October sun I think

Thank you for your suggestion but even that's too far for me I'm afraid. I'd like to stay in Europe

I think maybe Malaga or Sicily are your best bet for October sun in Europe. Alternatively, the Canary Islands

Ooh we absolutely love Sicily! Why didn't I think of this earlier - thank you so much. For some reason I thought October will be too late
