Winter Holidays in Spain
This is because these destinations offer plenty of winter sunshine. During the winter, accommodation in Spain is far cheaper than it is in the summer. Holidaymakers tend to be older, retired people who go away for up to three months at a time to get a break from the UK’s winter weather. Even the flights at this time of the year are cheaper. This means that the demographic of the people taking flights to Malaga, and other Spanish destinations, in the winter is changing. Increasingly younger couples on tight budgets are choosing to take their main two-week holiday in the winter rather than in the summer.
