The holiday season kicks off in May and there are great prices available for those free to take a break at short notice. The Canary Islands are still in high season, and that is where you will find guaranteed sunshine, but you can be very lucky with the weather in the Mediterranean.
There are flights from Shannon and Knock to mainland Spain, Portugal, Majorca, and Salou.
The Costa Brava has very good value in May for families; including €1,230 for bed & breakfast in the three star Hotel Merce in Pineda de Mar on May 14, or €1,480 for half board at the three star Best Lloret Splash on the same flight. Prices include return flights, transfers, and checked luggage for two adults and two children.
For guaranteed sunshine fly from Shannon to Fuerteventura and stay at the Caybeach Caleta in Costa Caleta, a great property for families, all for €1,467 self-catering for two adults and two children, seven nights on May 14.
The newly refurbished accommodation is five minutes' walk to the beach and bungalow in style so it feels more like a village complex than a hotel.
