Where fits my holiday brief?

We want to go away for around 2.5 weeks in September. DH will be working remotely most days and I'll have a toddler and a baby. At least one friend and also possibly my parents will be coming out to join so I won't be alone all that time.

The 'must haves' would be:

  • Somewhere in Europe, easy flight from London
  • Child-friendly (not horrendous with a pram, decent public transport, able to take children into restaurants etc.)
  • Not boiling(!)
  • Not mega expensive(!)
  • Able to stay in a walkable centre - able to get to shops, a park, possibly the beach etc.

We did similar in Malaga previously and it was honestly perfect, but we'd like to try something different this time.

I'm not motivated by a pool at all (in fact, managing young children around one would be very stressful for me), far more motivated by being somewhere walkable.

Vilamoura, Portugal. It’s very flat, lots of lovely places to walk. Atlantic breeze stops it being stuffy hot & the weather is perfect in September. Plenty of villa’s to choose from. On the same time zone as the UK. Car hire is very cheap too.

Valencia. Very child friendly - lots to do, heat variable, depends on time of year
