New Exclusively Gay Guest House in Spain

Last weekend I stayed a few days at Steve and Paul's new home in the rural Spanish coutryside outside Alicante on the Costa Blanca. The accommodation comprises four guest bedrooms, each with trendy and luxury en-suite bathrooms. There is also a comfy sitting room and cosy dining room for lunches and dinners..

As is common in this part of Spain, there are loads of outdoor terraces and shady gardens - one with a hammock - to enjoy the outdoor living and a wonderful clothing optional pool with plenty of sun loungers.

The location is great being surrounded by farms and vineyards yet less than a mile from the nearest town and just twenty minutes from Alicante Airport with its excellent flight links to major and regional UK airports. Gay beaches are around half an hour away and there is a lively gay scene in both Alicante and the nearby town of Elche.

Steve and Paul offer accommodation with breakfast at 4 Points as well as airport transfers. Complimentray drinks are available all day around the pool and lunches and dinners are available on request.

Cheap Gay Holidays to Gran Canaria

I was idly chatting the other day with a gay industry colleague who started to bemoan that there were no longer any cheap holidays to Gran Canaria.

We talked around this and concluded that there were, in fact, still plenty of cheap holidays available.

I highlighted that Amro has 7 nights with flights in a Carmen studio on 11 December for just £225 per person and plenty more in October and November at under £300.

It’s just that these sort of prices are no longer available for last minute deals.

This reflects the structural changes in the way travel is bought and packaged with much less whole aircraft and accommodation chartered and then dumped at rock bottom prices at the last minute, if unsold. The emphasis is now very much book in advance for the best deals and expect the price to rise as departure date approaches.

Having said all that, Amro still has a few September offers available at £322 per person but only on a few dates and you’ll have to be quick.

So the cheap Gran Canaria holiday is far from over – just plan a bit ahead and you'll bag a great bargain.
