I am looking to go away in November for a week and was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions as to where i can get some winter sunshine? Ive not been abroad before and dont really know where's best so a personal recommendation would go a long way.
If good weather is your only criterion, then you have a wide choice, as most of the countries bordering the Mediterranean (eg Southern France, Spain, Italy, Tunisia) should be reasonably sunny in November (though the evenings may be cool). It's hard to make a recommendation unless you narrow your criteria down a bit - for example, are you simply looking for a beach resort, or do you want a little (or a lot of) culture?
Sorry, I meant to add that it's often helpful to look at tour operators' brochures, for factual info and to get ideas, even if you're intending to travel independently.
Tenerife is not a bad start, all year round good weather (esp southern Tenerife) and if first time abroad not too daunting, most people speak english, british food available if your not feeling adventurous, fairly cheap. Only down side not many sandy beaches.
