Following local measures put in place by the Spanish Authorities, including closing some hotel facilities and the local bars, restaurants and beaches we have made the difficult decision to cancel holidays due to travel between 14 and 16 March.
Although there is currently no advice from the UK Government against travelling to Spain it would not be the holiday experience we would want for our customers.

Any customers due to travel between 17 March and 23 March will be contacted about their holiday on Monday 16 March.
