Mallorca is a lot closer and a lot nicer too imo, although maybe not as warm as you want in Feb.

It's a tough one.

Don't want a long flight as it's only going to be for 3 or 4 nights, but really want somewhere warm.

This time last year was in Sydney, perfect weather. Sigh.

Benidorm ftw!!

Never ever here! Worst place in the world Girgles!

I got reasonable deals for 3 nights in Peurto Del Carmen this weekend and 4 nights in Corralejo in 2 weeks time.  Wink

Been to Gran Canaria before and thought it was terrible.

There's always Malta 3.5 hour flight.

I am thinking about working for the Maltese tourist board.

I looked at Malta, but according to Wikipedia average temp in Feb is 59 degrees. Nowhere near warm enough!

Gibraltar obv!

Serious question Pleno.

What is there to do in Gibraltor?

I've never even considered it as a holiday destination but I've heard reasonable reports.

Is the night life good there? Are there plenty of young hotties about to look at in the bars and clubs?

Is there a decent bar / club area where you just spend every night or do you have to know what you're doing to find the best places?

I've always had the impression that it was a place for old people but admittedly I had the same impression of Malta before I went there and found out how insanely wrong I was!!

I'd say it was a fantastic place to live and a decent place to visit.

To live

-Lowest crime rate in the world iirc.
-Really nice weather, 25 degrees most days in winter. Obv next to the sea so a nice breeze too.
-Nearly all acoomodation is realllly nice, like modern apartments, expensive though. This is why there is little crime, only people with decent jobs can really afford to live here
-Prices on other things. Bottle of smirnoff vodka is £3.99, tabs, food etc is really cheap
-Main place is ocean village, huge gala casino, nice apartment complex and then liek 4/5 restaurants, also has a nightclub in complex called Savannahs that is full of 17-21 year old girls gagging for it
-Square called casemates, its a square with restaurants/bars in a rectangular shape where everyone sits outside in the summer and live acts in middle
-Population is 30,000 so tinyyyyy, so really nice and peaceful, however 30 minutes away is Marbella so awesome nightlife if you want to go there, can get limo service direct from Gibraltar
-Great beaches, go on for milessssssssssssss
-Close to africa (like 20 miles) so good if you want to experience different culture
- Gibraltar is 2nd in the world for % of winning poker players online according to PTR. There are lots of pros to come to live here as the standard of living is generally very good. Live however is a different story the live cash games are ridiculously soft and run 7 days a week
-Because of the nice climate (not too hot, not cold at all) and nice scenary its easy to get out and go for a run.

To visit


-The "rock" is really famous and has 2000 monkeys living on it, we get thousands of people coming to see them and they jump on you, play with you etc, they are pretty fun
-If you come here you will probably meet alot of scandanavian girls, who work as customer service for the gaming companies (many gaming companies, betfred, william hill, pokerstrategy etc have their offices here because of the low tax. The girls they hire are usually Eastern European/German or Scandanavian so lots of talent
-Drinks are obviously ridiculously cheap so aswell as taking them away with you you can get absolutely mortal here for pennies
