Hi all,
I'm looking for help and inspiration for planning a babymoon for late march/early april. We'd like to take the kind of trip it's hard to take with kids, focused on food, cultural activities, and natural beauty. We don't need beach weather, but ideally we're looking for weather nice enough to enjoy a meal outside and maybe even get lucky and spend an afternoon poolside. I'm trying to avoid rain at all costs. (I know - a tall order in the spring).
Any suggestions? I've been to Seville/Grenada or else that's where we'd be headed. We went to Italy the last two years (amalfi coast, tuscany, puglia) so it's not at the top of the list, but then again, you can't go wrong with Italy. We're also pretty well traveled when it comes to the big cities (rome, paris, madrid, barcelona, prague, milan, amsterdam, stockholm). I've been to Lisbon, but only briefly, so I would head back, but the algarve doesn't sound interesting in the spring and the rest of portugal looks potentially damp.
I'm seriously considering just booking a flight to a major flight hub and then picking our final location the week before when we have a better sense of weather, but as a planner, that makes me a little anxious. Unfortunately, our dates are not flexible because I don't feel comfortable traveling past mid-april.
