Winter break in the sun

My friend and I once stayed at Costa Almeria at the beginning of March and it was pleasantly warm while before we left Manchester ice was being scraped off the wings of the plane.
Cafe's were open and it's convenient if you like exploring areas with Granada not far away by train.
It wasn't that busy at the time.

I’ve stayed in all places mentioned past 10 years. I think over all Estepona ticks all the boxes.
I would never do Portugal again. At that time of year they get some awful cold winds coming in over the Atlantic.

Is Tenerife a place you might consider? I've spent a few winter holidays there and the self catering accommodation I've used has been of a good standard.

Shawlands2000, do you prefer coast or city breaks, tourist areas or living like a local?
Are you happy with local cuisine or prefer food you're more familiar with?

We have an apartment on the island of la Palma in the Canary Islands and usually spend most of the winter months there. It’s a Small island and out of the main tourist spots. Fantastic hiking in the volcanic area, lovely walks along the coast. Great restaurants and wine and definitely not touristy with brits. Lots of great things to do. Totally recommend.

Cadiz or Seville maybe ? Or even both as a twin centre break .

Thank you so much for your comments. Will certainly have a good look at your recommendations.
