November holiday but not long haul - recommendations please

Seville is great. We've been a few times.

I would pick Malta, Gozo, so very interesting, no language problems, lovely friendly people and good food. Biased as lived on Gozo for a while. Good transport around Island, good ferry service.

Southern Spain has lots to offer apart from the typical beach holidays. We were in Malaga recently - rented AirBnB near Old Town for 5 days. Lots to see and do. Great public transport - from there you can get to places like Granada, Ronda, Cordoba, Seville. Or as someone else suggested, use Seville as a base.

We have booked for egypt late feb to early march, flight about 5 hours I believe. 🤞🏻it will be warm, not been before but hopi g for some sunshine!

If you fancy South Tenerife try the Parque del Sol apartments in Adeje. We think the best apartments in the area. Great location for walks in all directions, near buses, shops & restaurants. More likely to get blue sky than in the North of the island !

silverlining48. We love Cyprus too, and had some great holidays there later in the season.

They say Seville is very interesting and should be nice and warm.

All I can say is, wish I was there

I’m currently in Malta and the temperature is a very comfortable 26 degrees, with a pleasant breeze. There are lots of Gransnet threads on Malta. It has so much to offer and well worth a visit. Getting around is very easy, with buses and ferries, as well as good taxi services. I class it more as a city break, as we no longer do beach holidays. It is also very friendly with plenty of restaurants. We prefer an apartment, rather than an hotel, although this time we’re staying in an Airbnb in Central Valletta. Thoroughly enjoying ourselves.

Try the South of Tenerife this time, if you say you were in the North last time.

We have had lovely winter holidays there.

I didn’t think Malta was that warm in winter.

Just spotted you don’t want to hire a car or swim…

Cyprus is still very warm in November, evenings too., so eating out is very pleasant. Sea still warm enough to enjoy a swim. Lots of interesting historical places to visit. If you rent a car , they drive the same side of the road as us. We visit in October and November and never been disappointed.
Summer would be far too hot. 4.5 hour flight.

Malta is a good one, though I went to Gozo which is a pretty unique place.

You have to remember that although they are warm, places more north will still get dark earlier.

My choice, for South of France - we have been in November - would be Nice. It won't be hot, hot, but pleasant enough to get out and about. An easy flight from City or Stansted, Nice Airport is almost in the town, just a cheap bus ride into the centre. Great Art museums, Chagall, Matisse, shops, restaurants. Trips by train to Monaco or Cannes in the other direction. No car necessary. Markets to buy your favourite French foods, and cafés everywhere. Apartments are mainly back a few streets from the Promenade so you wouldn't get a view. Antibes would be better for views, but not so much to do. Not too many English people in Nice either, you get the feel it's a working town.

Not for everyone, but we love it.

Oh sorry just saw that you weren’t keen on Madeira.

I’d suggest Mdeira or Malaga City. Both have good November climates with plenty to do, or not as you wish.

My daughter and I went to Malta last November weather was warm we travelled on local buses to see Valetta which was beautiful and very interesting. Beaches weren’t too busy.

I've been to Puerto de la Cruz in January and it was warm.
