Welcome

If you love Spain but hate bullfighting, you’ll be pleased to hear that Catalunya is banning the practice. If that enlightened decision makes you feel like a visit, turn straight to Eve Kerswill’s article on why the Costa Brava is fashionable again.

But if you’ve signed up for the ‘staycation’ movement – and this seems to be the perfect summer to do so – you can take your reading pick between a canalside cottage in Northamptonshire, the genteel delights of the Isle of Wight or the beaches and battlements of Northumberland.

The World Cup revealed to many previous sceptics what a fabulous holiday destination host nation South Africa makes. If you’re already thinking about getting away from winter dreariness, you can find out from Pippa de Bruyn’s article on how the country’s villa rental scene has been transformed.

Staying with a sporting theme, Ben Lynch found that for him, an unlikely mix of culture, beaches and formula one served up the ideal Turkish delight. Not far away as the crow flies, but a world away in pace is the Greek island of Crete. A couple explains to Angela West what makes Crete ideal for retirement.

Nobody likes paying taxes, or even reading about them, but if you’re the owner of a holiday property, we explain what the government has in store for you – and there’s an opportunity to respond. Or maybe you’re still thinking about doing up a holiday cottage – in which case you’ll find the final part of Bob Hill’s restoration case study fascinating.

If you feel strongly about anything you read here, or just want to share your holiday ideas or memories, why not air your thoughts on our letters page? You can see the current collection, here.

Whatever your holiday tastes, I’m sure you’ll find plenty here to inform and entertain you. Plus, as usual, a wonderful selection of great value holiday properties throughout the world.
