Are you also curious about how people celebrate the holidays abroad? The Christmas holidays are the ideal time to soak up the culture of the countries in Europe and to taste the traditions and customs of the local population. So book a holiday in the sun at Christmas to discover it for yourself. For example, I discovered that in Spain Nochebuena (Christmas Eve) is the most important festive evening and that Turrón often appears on the table as dessert. In Portugal, the Christmas menu is not complete without a Bolo Rei. The Christmas cake KhristOpsomo is often served in Cyprus. In Italy it is special to attend mass at the Vatican. Each and every one of these traditions that you will find out when you go to the sun for Christmas!
The Christmas holidays in 2023 for the UK will fall between: December 21, 2023 to January 3, 2024.
Some prefer to spend the holidays cozy by the fire, others prefer to seek out the warmth of the sun. In any case, I have something for everyone in Europe. Does a Christmas holiday in the sun in Southern Europe and around the Mediterranean sound like music to your ears? Celebrating the holidays with your feet in the sand and a freshly squeezed drink in your hand? I get that! Although you may think of snow and cold when you think of Christmas, you can of course just seek out the winter sun! A holiday in the sun over the Christmas 2022 is something that is highly sought after by travelers and I can see why. What better time to get that holiday feeling than a week away during the holidays? Whether it's Spain, Portugal, Italy or Cyprus, every destination has its own atmosphere. An atmosphere that I can certainly recommend you to taste.
Do you already feel like leaving for a holiday in the sun this Christmas? During Christmas and New Year's Eve you are still assured of peace and space with me in a place away from the crowd. Are you going to book the Christmas holidays at one of my small-scale accommodations? Who knows, you might come across a nice offer!
A sun holiday in December is one of my favourite activities. I often think back to a few years ago when I was in Madeira for a short holiday over Christmas. The capital Funchal was beautifully decorated with lights and Christmas trees, what a pleasant sight! On December 23, the streets fill with people dancing and partying during Funchal's well-known market, Mercado dos Lavradores. But the spectacular New Year's Eve fireworks show may have impressed me the most. It's not for nothing that I'm already looking to spend a week away in Madeira again with the festive days! Although it wouldn't surprise me if in Algarve or Costa de Lisboa you can also find a party!
You will also experience unique experiences in Spain when you go on holiday during the Christmas holidays. On the mainland, regions such as Andalusia become colorful and it is also a great experience on the islands such as Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.
It is often possible to book a special Christmas menu with the owner, who ensures that you do not have to lift your fingers during the holidays. Life can be so beautiful!
If you book a holiday by plane with me, it always includes accommodation and rental car!
