A summer holiday is always exciting, but even more so when it’s booked last minute. What better way to bid farewell to the season than to stretch it out in a sunny Spanish city, a chic Italian hotel, or a rural French hideaway? And that’s not even the best thing about an eleventh-hour trip; it’s the deals you can get.
It seems more and more of us are swapping the traditional year-long countdown to a holiday for a more spontaneous approach to travel – myself included. I’m chasing summer to Menorca in early September after finding a great deal on flights.
