Winter sun is just the ticket for credit-crunched Britons

A selection of new winter sun city break destinations – such as Benidorm, Faro and Fuengirola – have been added to city break specialist, Cities Direct’s programme with departures available from the beginning of November through to the end of March.

For example, head to the Spanish resort of Benidorm and enjoy a three-night break from just £199 inclusive of return UK flights to Alicante and accommodation at the two-star Camposol Hotel which is situated on the edge of the Old Town area and just 250m from the sandy Poniente beach.

Or on the Algarve, a three-night stay at the three-star Santa Maria Hotel – centrally located in Faro and close to the historical villa of Sé – costs from £219 inclusive of return UK flights to Faro.

Alternatively, three nights at the four-star Las Palmeras Hotel – located next to the beach in the centre of Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol – costs from £229 inclusive of return UK flights to Malaga.

All prices quoted are per person, based on two sharing and include breakfasts. Extra nights and hotel upgrades are available for a supplement.

The other new winter sun destinations are Alicante, Malaga, Malta, Murcia and Torremolinos.
