Caribbean or Canary Islands beaches and attractive 'city breaks', the best trips for autumn

With just two months left to say goodbye to the year and at the doors of Todos los Santos, the offers continue to grow strongly. It is the ideal time to set two objectives: take advantage of the weeks leading up to the Christmas holidays to organize short getaways at a good price, or, anticipate and plan new trips for 2024.

Whatever your preference, this time we present five plans in which three urban proposals stand out - Prague, Madrid and Córdoba - and two more relaxed plans by the sea. The first, savor the Caribbean beaches of Punta Cana, and the second, let yourself be caressed by the sun of Gran Canaria. Which one do you choose?

Apart from considering the flights from Spain, the first thing we highlight in this offer is the excellent location of the selected hotel. This is the Hermitage - a 4-star Travellers' Choice 2023 award - located just a few minutes walk from Vysehrad Castle and the famous Dancing House, ideal for exploring the Czech capital.

Includes flights from Spain, two nights in the aforementioned hotel, and daily breakfast.

Where to book: Travelzoo

When: until March.

The rates to fly to Madrid in recent times have been especially high, so the prices we have found for traveling in November are simply very interesting. The Spanish capital is a formidable autumn destination, with numerous music festivals, museums, antique exhibitions or an effervescent nightlife. As examples, if we take off from Santiago de Compostela or Eivissa, we find rates from €29; from Barcelona, ​​€32; from Malaga, €41, and from Bilbao or Fuerteventura, €47.

Includes round trip plane tickets, air taxes and hand luggage up to 12 kilos (depending on the airline chosen).

Where to book: Skyscanner

When: November.

It is not easy to find one-week trips to Punta Cana for less than a thousand euros. And even less with everything included. This is the case of this proposal, which will allow you to stay in an extraordinary 4-star establishment on El Cortecito beach, in Bávaro. The prices are for departures in November, but if you are looking for offers for later there are also options in January and February paying a supplement of €170 per person

Includes direct round-trip flight to Punta Cana (from Madrid or Barcelona); 7 nights in a comfort room at the Vista Sol Punta Cana Beach Resort hotel

Where to book: Traventia

When: November to January (more dates available).

If the forecasts do not fail, when temperatures in much of the Peninsula approach 15º, in Gran Canaria they will reach around 25º. In other words, escaping to the island for a few days (we have found various combinations for less than €350) will be like traveling from autumn to spring. The dates are as examples, so you can select other days to travel until December 28 in the Modify dates section.

Includes direct flights from Madrid or Barcelona and 5 nights in a deluxe room with breakfast included at the aforementioned hotel.

Where to book: lastminute.com

When: November and December.

The La Boutique de Puerta Osario hotel is a small accommodation built on a typical Cordoban house with a charming patio, less than a five-minute walk from Plaza Capuchinos and less than ten from the entrance to the Jewish quarter and the mosque. The establishment has reduced the rate of its rooms by up to 24% for stays in autumn-winter with prices starting at €71 with continental breakfast included.

Includes one night in a double room (minimum of two nights on weekends).

Where to book: La Boutique Puerta de Osario

When: until the end of January.
