I&#8217;ve been on a bit of a nostalgia trip of late so my top choices for winter sun are places I&#8217;ve visited before.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tenerife<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8745\" src=\"http:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9587.jpg\" alt=\"Rebecca on board the catamaran at Tenerife\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9587.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9587-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9587-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9587-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9587-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9587-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve only been to Tenerife once and that was 9 years ago! It was November 2008 when we visited but it was the first holiday for the husband and I to go on. It was great! We stayed at the Barcelo Santiago hotel. The food was great, there was a pool, a little walk to the beach&#8230;. what else could you want?<\/p>\n<p>We also took a trip to Siam Park &#8211; the water park a little way down the coast at Costa Adeje. Also went on a day trip out to sea to look for dolphins. And another trip to Loro Parque &#8211; a really lovely zoo in Puerto de la Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>It is definitely somewhere I would visit again&#8230; unfortunately we can&#8217;t go this Winter but have just booked for next July!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lanzarote<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6718\" src=\"http:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_2862.jpg\" alt=\"Playa Mujeres Lanzarote\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_2862.jpg 600w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_2862-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another Canary Island in my Top 3 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/becster.com\/cy\/?s=lanzarote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lanzarote<\/a>! It&#8217;s another place I&#8217;ve only been once but I would go back. We stayed at Playa Blanca and took a few trips out including Rancho Texas, Glass Bottom Boat and Timon Faya.<\/p>\n<p>The kids loved Rancho Texas which is a great zoo with a Wild West theme. Plus there&#8217;s a fab water park area there. Speaking of water parks, there&#8217;s another waterpark in Yaiza (nearer to Playa Blanca) which we saw but didn&#8217;t get a chance to try.<\/p>\n<p>If you like the volcanoes then I would suggest a trip to the Timon Faya National Park. The visitor centre there has a great experience and information about the volcanoes. We took a bus trip around the volcano and it was a pretty hairy experience! If you&#8217;re scared of heights, close your eyes!<\/p>\n<p>As part of that trip, we also had a ride on the camels. The camels have been doing it for years! My Nain remember going on the camel trek over 15 years ago!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Malta<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8744\" src=\"http:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9588.jpg\" alt=\"Malta - Mellieha Bay\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9588.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9588-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9588-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9588-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9588-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_9588-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another winter sun destination I would choose is <a href=\"http:\/\/becster.com\/cy\/?s=malta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Malta<\/a>. Again I&#8217;ve only been there once but we enjoyed it. We stayed at the Mellieha Bay Hotel up in the North of the island. The food was good, there was a swimming pool and a private beach. We were only a short walk from the main beach as well so plenty of sea and sand around.<\/p>\n<p>We were also close to the ferry port to the island of Gozo. We took a trip over and from what I remember it was a cheap to cross over to Gozo. Both islands are seeped in history and whilst over on Gozo we visited the Citadel.<\/p>\n<p>We were also a short drive from Anchor Bay where they filmed the movie Popeye. The place is fab! See my mini review over on TripAdvisor!<\/p>\n<p>Oooo I&#8217;m now dreaming of winter sun again!!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Where are your top winter sun destinations?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>(This is a collaborative post)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cold weather of late has made me start thinking of sunnier climates.
