Anonymous wrote:Any ideas for a good winter destination in Europe? For 2 adults looking to spend only 1 week there (including travel, so we're hoping for somewhere with a direct flight from DC). We enjoy good food, interesting history and museums, unique architecture, cultural options (like orchestra concert, ballet, opera, etc.). Bonus if there's a nice day trip to somewhere beautiful - like coastal town, mountain town, etc.
We are not afraid of cold/rain/etc., but would like to give ourselves a fighting chance of 50-60 degree weather.
What do you think? We've considered Paris with a day trip somewhere, Lisbon, or southern Spain (Seville? Granada?).
Tenerife or Gran Canaria can be your best bets in February.
