Where should you go on your next European adventure? Well, we love a hidden gem so have dug up six spots adored by locals but not yet discovered by Brits.
Tranquil, sandy beaches backed by striking architecture are just part of what makes this spot so special. Ryanair flies direct from Southend to Asturias from £12.99 each way.
RIBADESELLA, Asturias, Spain
Filled with narrow streets crammed with restaurants, Cadiz is only two miles long and surrounded by water, so you'll be treated to sea views no matter where you stay.
CÁDIZ, Andalusia, Spain
Strasbourg isn’t your typical French town. Stroll along the canal where you’ll pass Alsatian houses with timber frames, then marvel at the grand cathedral, an impressive work of Gothic architecture.
STRASBOURG, Grand Est, France
Situated in the Bay of Biscay, Noirmoutier is connected to the mainland by a causeway and has sun-kissed beaches, a pretty marina, plus scenic cycling routes passing salt marshes.
NOIRMOUTIER Pays de la Loire, France
Forget the Amalfi Coast. To the south lies a quaint Italian town with a picturesque harbour at its centre and secluded beaches backed by tall, green mountains.
MARINA DI CAMEROTA Campania, Italy
This town on Italy’s western coastline is bursting with history, good grub and seaside fun. It’s also great for diving and snorkelling, with the surrounding waters home to an array of sea creatures.
