November Holiday in Europe?

Question

Can anyone advise on a good place in or around Europe to go on holiday in November? It needs to be warm (i.e. over 75 degrees f) and have good restaurants and hotel facilities. We've thought about the Canaries - the Greek Islands seem a bit cold at that time of year.

Answer 1

Yeah, yeah, Africa is great, especially for that time of year, but you said that you want to spend your holiday in Europe. In most parts of continental Europe it is almost freezing during winter, especially from December untill February. I live in Europe and November is not that cold, as everybody keep telling you. In most parts of southern and central Europe, temerature in November is between 10-15 degrees Celsius. In northern Europe it is, of course, much colder during that period of time. But, you want much higher temperatures. In that case, you should definitely go to Madeira island. Madeira is an island situated in the Atlantic ocean. It belongs to Portugal. Madeira is, as people call it, island of spring. I have been there for about a year, and temperatures don't get either under or above 22-24 degrees Celsius. It is very rich in nature. There are many beautifull parks, forests, mountain ranges with unforgetable views... Many animals can be found in the wilderness. There are also many places for barbecue. You can take a bath in the ocean whenever you want. Water temperature is also around 20 degrees. There are many beaches over there. People are very friendly. The biggest city on the island is the city of Funchal. There are many villages, where the friendly old natives will try to make you feel the atmosphere of the island and its rich ethnic culture. The cuisine and the special ethnic meals of the island are delicious! The whole island is great. There are many luxurious hotels, which you can check with an agency, or you can go to Madeira by your own and rent an apartment. I recommend you to rent a bike (or a car) and explore the island by yourself. There are many waterfalls, but the way that leads to them is an adventure by itself. It is very narrow and steam, but it's not dangerous, because it is very well secured. I mentioned mountain ranges... I'll always remember that view. Its summit is beyond the clouds and it gives you the view on the whole island... Also, these mountains contain large number of fossills of animals that once lived here. There are many sandy beaches, too, but much better beaches are at the island of Porto Santo. It's very close to Madeira. There are many other things to do than just strall, swimm and admire the beautifull scenery. You can visit their famous cathedral, but I don't know if it's opened in that time of the year, embarque to the Colombo's ship Santa Maria (he began his journey from the Madeira island).... You should definitely try this island as your place for a perfect holiday. Enjoy it! I hope I helped. If you need any further information, just contact me.
