La Palma, Santiago de Compostela or Lisbon, destinations for your next getaway

We always say it and we will never tire of repeating it: don't focus on one destination, open your mind to other opportunities. And it is true. The offers in this section, to a large extent, have that function: to make us change course. Do you want to go to the beaches of the Caribbean and suddenly an extraordinary discount appears to travel to Nepal?... Don't hesitate.

This week, for example, we have found many getaways of a few days through the national territory and Portugal for those restless minds who want to take advantage of the dates before Christmas, or a great trip to Southeast Asia for those who have more time. As always, you decide.

Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand are 3 destinations that are on the minds of all those people who are passionate about travel. It is a classic. If it was one of those places that you had on your list of favorites, congratulations, since this is a very complete proposal that includes a cruise through Halong Bay. We wanted to highlight it because it is not easy to find trips of this style and duration for less than €3,000.

Includes international and internal flights; 16 nights in hotels with breakfast; transfers; a cruise through Halong Bay, and accompanying Spanish-speaking guide.

These new Iryo brand trains will link the Catalan and Andalusian capitals at full speed starting next December 10. It will be a journey that will last just over five hours, with stops in Zaragoza, Madrid and Córdoba. You can travel from the Catalan capital to Seville (and vice versa) with a single ticket, without changing trains. As announced by the company, the starting price is €25. We have checked the dates and we found these rates scattered until May 2024.

Includes round-trip Iryo train tickets, taxes, carry-on bag and two pieces of luggage. They accept folded bicycles (total limit of 25 kg).

This is a good offer to travel to Isla Bonita -or Isla Verde- (since 2002, Biosphere Reserve), a destination of unparalleled seascapes, volcanoes, mountains, culture and gastronomy. If you are tempted, we have selected a 5-day getaway in a villa with a private pool and terrace near Los Llanos de Aridane.

Includes direct round-trip flights from Madrid (other Spanish airports can be selected) and 4 nights in a 77m² one-bedroom villa with a pool at Villas Taburiente.

This small hotel in the center of Santiago de Compostela offers its rooms (there are several types) at half price. Until mid-April we have found prices ranging from €40 to €70. And, in addition to its magnificent location, the very good opinion of users who have stayed at this establishment is very striking.

Includes one night in a double room (cancellation or modification of the reservation up to seven days before arrival has no charge).

Where to book: Hotel Entrecercas

When: until April.

This is one of those “hotel flight” combinations that you have to look at carefully. It is perfect, as it allows you to get to know a great destination like Lisbon, with flights from Spain and with accommodation, the 4-star Lisboa Plaza hotel, located in the center of the capital. They offer you all this to spend 4 days - on several departures between December and February - for less than €200 per person. Almost unbeatable.

Includes flights from Spain; 3 nights in the aforementioned hotel with breakfast; upgrade; glass of port as a gift, and free entry to 3 Lisbon museums. The price of €2 per night per person must be added to the price.

Where to book: Travelzoo

When: until February.
