Long stay winter holiday advice
Watch this postHaving both reached retirement age rcently we feel in need of some winter sun. I know a lot of mature folk spend their winter abroad but when I look I am only finding holidays of 14 to 28 days.
I'm looking for holidays in Spain that take full advantage of the 3 months you are allowed to holiday there but that don't cost the earth.
Has anyone any tips or suggestions please as to where I can find long stay breaks that don't break the bank?

Have you tried Airbnb options? We went travelling for a few years, rented out our home and if you rent a place for 4 weeks or more, you often get a hefty discount. You could also consider Trusted House Sitters if you like animals, but it's not always a cheap option as you often have car hire and lots of responsibilities to consider. If you are more adventurous then East Africa has a perfect climate all year round. We visit Uganda most years during the winter months - temperatures are a stead 25 to 27 degrees most days.
Hope you've found a great place to escape to - let me know if you have!!
