Escape to the sun

I love last minute trips. The spontaneous decision on a Monday to grab a few days away and head off on Wednesday – absolute bliss That is exactly what I did recently after mid-term when flight prices are at their lowest. I stayed 5 nights in Puerto Mogan in Gran Canaria which has to be one of the most relaxing places in the Canaries. There is a great selection of hotels and apartments available and it’s a very relaxing area. No rowdiness or thumping music - just meandering little bougainvillea filled streets with lovely shops to browse around, a small sandy beach, and a whole marina full of little restaurants and bars to choose from. I love the Canary Islands because there is somewhere for everyone, whatever type of holiday you are looking for.
