where to go next march{easter for 2 weeks} with 7 and 9 year old boys

[Helenmh]

The last couple of years we have had a winter sun break. Next year it seems easter falls in march so we were hoping to go for 2 weeks with our boys.we have been to puerto pollensa in majorca, playa blanca in lanzarote, the algarve this year. Has anyone got any ideas. we like somewhere with a bit of local character either self catering or b and b.not too expensive as it isnt our main holiday

Have you had a look at the new calendar mumsnet's travel expert's just done? Just thought it might have some suggestions for you. There's a link to it on today's home page.

I got a brochure for a travel company called Laskarina Holidays www.laskarina.co.uk recently which has some realy wonderful looking places, lots of small characterful villages, we would be going ourselves if it wasn't for the small matter of baby due at end of May! Also try Vintage Travel, they have quite a few places, we stayed at one of their houses in Mallorca when our daughter was 8 months and had a wonderful time, very well organised and small enough for you to feel that they really know all of the places well. We also went to a privately owned villa on the same trip in a place called Canyamel in the north east of Mallorca - where the Spanish go - i.e unspoilt, and lovely sandy beach, their details are on www.ownersdirect.co.uk/Mallorca/b15.htm

Thanks for your ideas. We have just had details of a villa near Lagos. we went to the algarve for a week this year and had one day in Lagos and liked it so we wouldnt mind exploring the west. we would need to organise own flights.Has anyone any ideas about that or been to the western algarve. Thank you
