Sip your cocktails just feet from the ocean, indulge in a little boutique shopping, or delight at the flower markets, this is your gateway to the gorgeous Mediterranean coastline and it's time to glam it up.

    Something for the Easter weekend?

    If you are planning ahead to make the most of the Easter weekend, why not head to Andalucia for "Semana Santa".  Seville and Granada are both renowned for their week-long, extravagant processions with traditional floats.  And there are plenty of other celebrations to enjoy too from fairgrounds to fireworks and traditional dancing.

    Travel Essentials
    It appears that all we need to keep us happy on holiday is a good book and a corkscrew!   These were the most popular responses when we asked you which item was guaranteed a place in your suitcase this year.  And, rather worryingly, your favourite tea bags rated as more important than clean underwear!
     
    But congratulations go to Claire Spiteri from Surrey who wins the case of wine this month.  Her essential travel item is;
    "Our dropping-to-pieces, 2001 edition AAA North American Road Atlas.  Every year we stick it back together and excitedly pore over it to decide our routes and stopovers. It then faithfully accompanies us on the journey itself.  We really should get a new one, but just can't bear to part with it."
