Not really planned and very last minute, we are off to Spain tonight (4am) for 7 days, staying near Barcelona in Santa Susana.

We've never been to Spain, often put off by the typical Brits abroad reputation of the costas. But we got a reasonable half board deal on a 4 star hotel that looks nice from the photos and reviews, and Tom was desperate for a swimming pool. Beach is only 50m away too. Plus we can get into Barcelona by train as it's only 50km to visit the museums, art galleries and look at the famous architecture.

I will try to take some pictures to share with you all.
