Come south for the sun. I'd head down the Spanish coast to Barcelona & across to Portugal. Portugal is lovely all year around, but especially in summer.
Last year, my partner & I left Bournemouth UK, spending 2 weeks in several towns touring to Spain, where now we live. We stayed in London, Paris, St.Tropez & down towards Spain.
Once we arrived in Spain, enjoying it where we are so much, we asked ourselves, why did we spend 1000's of pounds staying in all of these places when we could have come straight here to Alicante. Simple answer, we enjoyed it!
Good luck on your travels & enjoy where ever you stay, as there's some amazing sights, foods & people to meet!
