So right here. I booked a trip in advanced to Alicante. Flights for 50 quid.
2 Nights stay beach side hotel 100 quid.
Lots of drinks and food about 80 quid.
Prosses are 350 overnights.
If i were to do this in UK, talking about 800ish . A nice hotel in London is like 400 for 2 days.
I'm with you on an european trip
Its got a different vibe to it
Opportunities arise all over & discovering them with appropriate research on here & elsewhere is part of the trip
Key to planning in theatre when there is having access to a tablet even better laptop its tricky just on a mobile
Alicante has a surprising level of activity
& the economics of being there in your favour c.f. here
A dirty w/e for europe i would suggest travel Friday morning back Monday or depart late Sunday [with late checkout from the room if available]
Close to Alicante is the much maligned Benidorm which has been transformed over the past 5-10 yrs going upmarket big style
There's also the benefit of the weather & both Alicante & especially Benidorm have ace beaches
& an opportunity for civvy action will present if you have a game plan together not hunting for it which sometimes helps as you can stumble across it & hence don't look too keen [& hotel in place]
Better chances than over here much better & burds let their hair down when they are away especially when its sunny warm & lubricated with some cocktails
Having had the tanks emptied civvy or paid for whats not to like with a well earned snooze on the beach by the pool in the sun catching some rays
Paid for action in spain cheaper & better than here it just takes a bit more effort
