Easter holidays in Spain 'great for families' |
|
|
|
|
 Families planning a springtime holiday in Spain may find that there are still affordable flight deals to be found over the Easter weekend, the Telegraph reported today.
Because Easter falls early this year, it may be an ideal time for families to fly to Spain, particularly as the holiday does not coincide with most UK half-term breaks.
The newspaper claims that this places "less pressure than normal on flights … so the prices for family holidays are more reasonable".
It added that as "this spring looks like a great time to travel", mums and dads may wish to investigate a range of resorts to see which may be most suitable for their family.

 The third stage of the Volta a Valenciana cycle tour took in the sights of Alicante with the stage's start and finish line located in the nearby town of Ibi.
However, according to VeloNews the stage ended with controversy as a misdirected peloton split confused some riders who took the wrong direction at the crucial final 5km.
The two leading cyclists managed to take the correct exit and it was Ruben Plaza who claimed first place, stealing the leader's jersey from previous stage victor Jose Ivan Gutierrez.
Cycling enthusiasts interested in going on a Spanish holiday may wish to continue following this remarkable race which is set to deliver more drama as the stages continue.

 Britons are swapping the traditional two-week getaway for shorter Spanish holidays, it has been reported.
According to Holiday Inn, 52 per cent of Britons will not be opting for a fortnight's holiday overseas in 2008, instead preferring to take a selection of three to four-day breaks throughout the course of the year.
Research by the organisation showed that the average family takes in the region of four short holidays a year.
Consumers claimed to feel that a long weekend's break taken every three months can prevent stress from building up in everyday life.

Pregnant flyers 'should be treated as individuals' |
|
|
|
|
 Pregnant women wishing to take flights to Spain should be treated on a case-by-case basis, it has been asserted.
According to the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), a trade union and professional organisation run by midwives for midwives, it is impossible to create a comprehensive set of guidance for pregnant flyers because "you never know what can happen to a pregnant woman once you take off".
However, in certain cases, women should not travel, for example if they have a low-lying placenta or high blood pressure.
"Some airlines say they will admit pregnant women up to a certain number of weeks and usually they want the midwife or doctor to give confirmation that she is fit," Janet Fyle, professional policy advisor for the RCM commented.

 Those taking Spanish holidays in Alicante may have found themselves face-to-face with a creature better associated with the land down under than the popular European holiday destination they had travelled on holiday to.
