If you’re sick of surfing the net and would prefer to do some real surfing, then Thomas Cook has all the info you need to grab that board and head off.
No matter what way you look at it, we don’t get great weather here, although we do get some good waves, so you might be in to your surfing.
But we all know that it’s sun, sand and surf that makes the perfect combo, so if you’re looking to get away on a surfing holiday, your best bet would be to head off to Gran Canaria with Thomas Cook.
The weather at this time of year is great in Spain, and you’ll also escape the huge crowds that would be filling the beaches during the summer so you and your board can have some peace to ride the waves.
If you’re not a surfer but prefer the bike instead, then the Gran Canaria Bike Festival takes place at the beginning of April and has a series of races and events to keep you entertained. Of course, you can also just head over for a bit of sunshine and get some well earned relaxation in!
In terms of eating, drinking and the night life in general, you’ve got a huge range of options with a lot of places doing deals.
Puerto Rico has a load of English and Irish bars where you’ll get great offers, with pints from as little as €1, while you can still enjoy the foods and comforts of home, like live sports and football on the TV.
If you’re in the mood to branch out a bit from the usual, you can get cheap Spanish tapas down at Playa del Ingles too.
Even if you’re looking for a last minute deal to use your spare few days holidays around Paddy’s Day, you can get a great price of around €600 per person, including accommodation, from the 16th to the 23rd March.
If you need any more inspiration to get in the mood for a surfing holiday with the lads, then Weezer’s classic ‘Surf Wax America’ should have you sizing up your wet suit in no time.
