Cheap Short Break

[NaThAn89NiS]

Hey people.
I am 18 years old and really need a holiday as i have not been this year :(
I want to go with my girlfriend who is also 18.
The problem is that i do not have a lot of money at the minute.
Does anyone have any recomendations on cheap places to visit or really nice places??? (Preferably abroad) it would only be for like 3 or 4 days though as i said about the money problem but if anyone has ideas please let me know :):):):) would be appreciated Thankyouuuuu!

Definitely check out different dates and such on the site though as all kinds of deals to be had.

Go midweek if possible as cheaper than weekends.

Some Barcelona deals...

http://www.expedia.co.uk/pub/agent.dll?qscr=cm sh&subm=1&dsct=&dlvl=&rtmn=&rtmx=&dcty=LON&dri d1=179992&tair1=BCN&ddpt1=20/09/2008&tdpt1=362 &drtn1=23/09/2008&trtn1=362&cadu1=2&cmbt=2&rdc t=1&mcicid=Citybreaks.OfferBox01.PKG.Text.BCN

Make sure you check the location as many of the cheaper hotels are quite far out from the main towns (in all cases).

Can you wait until September? You will find prices for flights and accom much cheaper and often the weather is more bearable.

As others have mentioned, Barcelona is a really cool place to visit. Good nightlife, great shopping and it's got a beach too!!

Try to stay near La Ramblas right in the centre of the city. Shopping around, you can get reasonable flights from Luton/Gatwick for about �70 per person and private rooms in a hostel for about �40 per night.
Allowing for food/taxis/clubbing etc, you can probably have a 4 day break for about �500 quid all in.

This will involve a bit of careful planning, but it is do-able. If you're footy fans, try to combine it with a Barca game too!! Ole
