The Canary Islands, Amsterdam or the Duero Valley: trips to say goodbye to 2023 (or start 2024)

The cold is already beginning to make its first appearance and with it the desire to stay home, cover yourself with a blanket and spend time watching one series after another grows. However, when you read the offers below, you may change your mind.

And there is nothing better than moving or, in other words, traveling, especially if it means doing so while saving money. Exploring the Duero Valley, organizing a getaway to Amsterdam or embarking on a warm adventure in Costa Rica are just some of this week's proposals. Are you going to miss them?

The situation and the environment that we propose below is to disconnect as much as possible, forget about everything for a few days and recharge your batteries for the remainder of autumn and winter. This is the Duero Valley, a wonder that you can enjoy staying at Hacienda Zorita, a well-rated establishment on the banks of the Tormes, among vineyards, in one of the most striking landscapes in Spanish geography.

Includes two nights in a luxury room with breakfast for two, a visit and wine tasting at a winery, and a gift bottle, with an exclusive 45% discount.

Where to book: Travelzoo

When: from November 19 to the end of March.

The airline KLM has launched this week a promotion with discounts to several European destinations such as Norway, Sweden and Germany.

Includes round-trip plane tickets, air taxes, hand luggage up to 10 kilos and drinks, meals and snacks on board.

When: December to February.

We have found an interesting offer on the MYND hotels website with discounts of 10% on their usual rates. The good thing about these establishments is their philosophy based on sustainability, local products and the promotion of local culture. It is ideal for those considering traveling to Tenerife, Lanzarote or Fuerteventura with the aim of living a very local experience. We have found prices from €215 for 4 days for two people at the MYND Adeje in Tenerife; €331 also for 4 days at the MYND Yaiza, in Lanzarote, and €331 for 6 days at LACASA Apartments Cotillo.

The offer includes the room or the apartment and the discount is valid for all types of plans.

Where to book: MYND Hotels

When: until the end of 2024.

What we liked most about this trip is that it is such a complete itinerary that brings together some of the most interesting places in Costa Rica. As examples, a walk through the Arenal volcano; a cruise along the Peñas Blancas River; a photographic safari through the Matapalo River estuary, or the extraordinary beaches of Tamarindo. If the dates fit you, it is a great opportunity, since we have not found offers of this nature for less than €1,800.

Includes international flights from Spain; 8 nights in a superior hotel category; tickets to the visits indicated in the program; Spanish speaking guide; travel, and travel insurance.

Where to book: Exoticca

When: until the end of 2024.

This week we have also focused on a promotion from the H10 hotel chain. They offer a generous 20% discount on all their hotels if you book before Monday, November 13. You just have to select the hotel that best suits you, choose the date and enter the code FALL23. Of all the establishments, our recommendation would be the H10 Racó del Pi, located in a historic building in the heart of Barcelona's Barri Gòtic, highly rated by critics.

Includes double room (accommodation only). If you add breakfast, you will pay €30 more per room. Becoming a member of the H10 Club allows you to obtain an additional 5% discount (cumulative).
