This week, in the midst of scorching temperatures, the desire to travel and look for places to spend a vacation is surely greater. There are still last-minute offers for August, but above all the ones we have found for the month of September and the last quarter of the year are highly recommended.
It is worth looking beyond the sun and the beach of August and also look for ideas to travel next fall and reduce the budget. A preview: a cruise to the Holy Land, a getaway to the Duero Valley or a great trip to Costa Rica.
This offer is original. On the one hand, it is a destination full of spirituality and, on the other, it is a different way – on board a cruise ship, from the sea – to discover places like Nazareth or Jerusalem. The itinerary is very complete: Rome, the Greek islands, the Turkish coast or Cyprus, as well as the aforementioned Israel, with a discount of €528. It is not a large cruise, so the cabins will not take long to run out.
Includes flights from Barcelona and Madrid to Rome; transfers to the hotel in the Italian capital; 16 days in an interior cabin with full board; entertainment and activities on board; excursions; Spanish guide, and port taxes.
Where to Book: Princess Cruises
Departure: November 8.

Although it is true that it is very hot in Madrid in August, it is also true that there are not so many queues -Madrileños tend to flee to the beaches- and the activities organized on those dates are numerous. For this reason, this offer from Chic has caught our attention.
It includes only the double room. The discount also applies to the offer with breakfast (€19 per night), the same as for other superior rooms.
Where to book: Chic
When: July and August.
