Right now there are many travelers who have not yet defined their next summer vacation. As usual, we wake up late and, when there are only a few days left, we eagerly start looking for interesting proposals. We know that it is advisable to plan your journeys ahead of time, but, inevitably, we make the same mistake year after year.
If this is your case, you are in luck, since we present you with five offers that can solve the problem and avoid the arduous task of searching and comparing. From a getaway to the Douro Valley to a trip to the paradisiacal Maldives islands, going through a relaxing stay in an extraordinary corner of our country, we propose ideas for you to decide the one that interests you the most.
This offer is designed for those people who are looking for a vacation in which peace and tranquility reign. Very comfortable beds, delicious homemade breakfasts and an idyllic setting. In the heart of the Duero Valley, in Portugal, very close to the border with Salamanca, we find the Casas do Coro, where total relaxation is possible at a price 25% cheaper than usual.

The opportunities that can be found in the “flight plus hotel” section of agency websites are often surprising. In this case, we'd like to highlight an eight-day trip to the Maldives with a stay at an award-winning and impressive all-inclusive resort, the Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon. It is located in the Alifu Alifu Atoll, about 25 minutes by seaplane or 1.5 hours by speedboat from Male International Airport.
Includes flights from Madrid with a stopover and 6 nights in a room with a garden at the aforementioned hotel on an all-inclusive basis (breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks). Transfers can be added by paying a supplement.
Where to book: Rumbo
When: September and October.
There are certain destinations that are in high demand in summer, such as Majorca, which always sounds on the list of the most desired. This week we have been struck by the fact that rates from different Spanish airports remain so low between July and August: we have observed considerable availability for less than €50. As examples: in July, from Alicante and Valencia, from €18; from Barcelona, from €25; from Bilbao, €29. In August: from Madrid, from €39 and, finally, from Malaga, from €41.
Includes round-trip plane tickets, air taxes and hand luggage up to 10 kilos (depending on the chosen airline).
Where to book: Skyscanner
When: July and August.
At the moment, finding an available place in a hotel on the coast is difficult, however, many inland establishments seek to attract new visitors by lowering their rates. You have to change the chip, since the savings are considerable. An example of this is the Áurea Convento Capuchinos, a five-star hotel that occupies an old convent in the historic center of Segovia next to the Plaza Mayor and the cathedral. It is an ideal plan to discover a small world heritage city with a 29% discount on the usual rates.
Includes double room and breakfast. The lowest prices are for staying during the week. On weekends they start at €175 a night, instead of the usual €215.
Where to book: Áurea Capuchin Convent of Segovia
When: until the end of September.
The Paradores website publishes a promotion for 3 nights with a 20% discount for the month of July. If you hurry, you can still take advantage of it and plan a fabulous vacation in the coming weeks (bookable until July 31). In total there are 35 the number of inns that are part of this offer. However, to alleviate the summer heat, we thought it would be nice to highlight the establishments with swimming pools. This is the case of Córdoba, from €283; Artíes (in the Val d'Aran), from €365; La Gomera, from €425, and Zafra (Badajoz), from €303.
Includes 3 nights at the selected hostel with breakfast. If you opt for the 2-night promotion, the discount is reduced to 15%.
