Topic of the week | Welcome to our special Amazon Spring Sale day newsletter. |
It may feel as if spring has only just sprung, but now's the time to get planning for summer to bag a great-value trip. We've rounded up some of the best-value holiday deals to book now, from Kos to Cuba. If you fancy heading across the Pond this summer, check out this selection of the best under-the-radar US beaches to visit. Closer to home, our guide to the secret Balearics reveals the best places to eat, drink, swim and stay on the Spanish islands of Menorca and Formentera; and closer still, consider a UK break to one of these country hotels and manor houses for an idyllic rural retreat. Searching for even more bargains? We've rounded up the best deals from the Amazon Spring Sale, with the chance to snare bargain prices on laptops, TVs, air fryers and more... |

Balearic bliss: Platja de Migjorn in Formentera |
|
|
| Ouarzazate in southern Morocco today joins the Ryanair route network from London Stansted. The first flight is due to land at 8.30am at the city on the edge of the Sahara – a great starting point for a trans-Morocco journey. |
|
|
| From tomorrow, 29 March, Tintagel Castle in north Cornwall will open daily right through until November – with the spectacular new bridge as the centrepiece. In April, Fridays and Saturdays are off-peak days. |

Affordable holiday in Italy in August? |
|
|
We want to go to Italy in August, taking in cities and coast, without spending a fortune. What do you suggest? |
|
|
Milan is a joy in August, when the city empties. With crowds and traffic abated, you can explore the highlights: the vast Duomo, one of the largest cathedrals in the world; the Quadrilatero d'Oro (Golden Rectangle), the hub of the fashion universe; and the masterpieces hung at the Pinacoteca di Brera. As a business (rather than leisure) destination, Milan is the cut-price summer gateway to Italy. After spending 48 hours there, hop on a local train to Genoa, which is well worth another couple of days – appreciating the Renaissance architecture, the Mediterranean setting and the superb food. Then take a train east along the Ligurian coast to Camogli. This charming resort has a good beach, a rich history and easy access over the peninsula to Santa Margherita Ligure and Rapallo – both preferable to over-visited Portofino. The later you can leave your trip in August, the better the availability and the lower the cost. Our guide to the best of Genoa |
