  • Portuguese Algarve plans: what to do when you go to visit the 'Best beach in the world'

  • Clues An Easter plan for every corner of our geography

Many will have a very expensive destination for their vacation, but many others will be watching the weather, doing math or looking for last-minute deals. These

last minute

proposals are aimed at the latter to improvise a nearby getaway by the sea.

WINS OF CADIZ

It happens every March that everyone who knows the Cádiz coast begins to feel an irreplaceable desire to head south. And the sea pulls, but beaches like Barrosa (Chiclana de la Frontera), with that quality of fine, golden sand, are even more engaging. And if we go with children, much more. The

Iberostar Royal Andalus

hotel

, an all-inclusive resort, has direct access to this sandy area, one of the best on the Costa de la Luz. For golfers, the Iberostar Real Novo Sancti Petri course is proposed. And if you go with children, the golf club with the seal of Severiano Ballesteros teaches them to hit their first balls thanks to the Star Camp program. More information at www.cadizturismo.com

The Passion in MÁLAGA

Everything ready in Picasso's hometown for Easter. In just a few days, the city will dress up to revive the identity of the brotherhood spirit: 45 processions will take to its streets, incense will fill the atmosphere and the sound of bugle and drum bands will warm the hearts of locals and strangers. In front of the port, at the beginning of Larios Street, the Only You Málaga hotel has an unbeatable location,

infinity pool

and panoramic views of the city. Another popular establishment, this one already in Marbella, is

El Fuerte

, which has already hosted figures such as Walt Disney, Rafael Alberti, Lola Flores or Penélope Cruz. Haute cuisine is, of course, the main attraction of his Edge restaurant, the space of

Huelva chef Paco Pérez,

but be careful with the views... Spectacular. More information at visita.malaga.eu/es

san sebastián: txotx!

The obligatory walk along La Concha beach, an afternoon of pintxos in the Old Town, an excursion to Hernani to see the

Chillida Leku Museum

since this year we celebrate the centenary of the sculptor's birth, the ritual of eating in a cider house and raise the glass shouting "txotx!"... It will be excuses to go to Donosti. Well, here's one more: a design hotel in the heart of the city, with suites with high ceilings and views of the Good Shepherd Cathedral. The

Arbaso hotel

is ideal for a genuine local experience. And this is not always easy. More information at www.sansebastianturismoa.eus/es

FAMILY LANZAROTE

Disconnection on the island of César Manrique is assured. Both for the genius of the total artist, and for the volcanic and unreal landscape that the beautiful Canary Island gives us. That is why traveling to Lanzarote is flying to a place very far from the routine. And if we go as a family, there's nothing like a resort like

Dreams Lanzarote Playa Dorada

, located in Playa Blanca and with views of the islands of Lobos and Fuerteventura, to round out the vacation. The resort with nine pools, a water park and five restaurants is one of those paradises for adults and children. More information at turismolanzarote.com

Menorca: jazz and more

It is an island to daydream. Menorca combines a rich cultural heritage, impressive natural landscapes and unique hospitality with activities that keep it alive all year round, from jazz festivals to thousands of sporting events. And then there are its coves, an invitation to stay enchanted by the sea all day. When night comes, the Balearic island displays an irresistible catalog of charming accommodations. Known for its emblematic salmon-colored façade, and built by the Albertí family more than 200 years ago,

Can Albertí 1740

boutique hotel is a perfect destination for sybaritic travelers in search of well-being. In fact, part of its charm lies in the massages and peelings it offers, in addition to the possibility of doing Pilates or yoga sessions. More information at www.menorca.es
