Off the week after next. Can't afford accomodation/flights to the major Western European cities and preferrably would like to avoid a drunken sloppy resort full of Ireland and Englands worst.
Any suggestions?

If you want a city break maybe Valencia or Seville, havent been there myself but have heard good things about both places. Or maybe somewhere like riga, taalin or vilnius while it may be a bit pricey for the flight the accommodation and spends wont be too bad.
For a week away in the sun what about Dubrovnik or Stalis in Crete. Stalis is quite a small resort so doesnt tend to suffer from the lager louts that you would get in places like Gran Canaria
if you're in Cork, there's a direct flight to Carcassonne which looks fantastic, lovely little town and wonderful sights. We looked up hotels too and there's a demense/mansion style hotel in the country outside Carcassonne which again is something from a 50s romance movie, the works.
I went to Carcassonne last year (just before the Rugby World Cup) and had a great time. I actually stayed inside the city walls in a lovely B&B. Very surreal place - they actually filmed the castle scenes from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves inside the walls so you can be Kevin Costner for the weekend!

It might be a bit short notice to get a room here but you never know. Carcassonne is ok for 3 days maximum so if you went for a week I'd recommend checking out somewhere else in the south like Toulouse or Bordeaux.
Went to Seville last year and an amazing place. The weather would be uncomfortably hot right now though and the place would be heaving around now too.Quote:
