Simple enough question, I'm considering strongly going to Europe for about a month from early Feb until early March , when my uni semester restarts.

Do you think its a good idea to go traveling through Europe in February? Even though its fairly cold, not so many tourists (plus point) etc. etc.

If anyone has any experiences they're willing to share then please do so.

Sir Bert Preast

Cold's no problem, just wrap up well.

Rain will probably **** you right off though.

Tanman007

I'll get over the rain, although if I do end up going, it'll be after the Australian summer.

How's the Costa del Sol like in February Bert?

Sir Bert Preast

Mmm, if you're lucky it'll be like it is today - about 20 degrees, bright sunshine, cooling breeze. If you're unlucky it'll be a monsoon every day. We usually get a week or two of torrential rain around november or febuary or both.

Weather-wise across Europe I don't think you could pick a more unpleasant month.

What are you intending to see?

Tanman007

Barcelona is a must, Valencia I hear is worth going to, then of course I've been told to go to places like Ibiza, Majorca etc. "Go party bro" and all that rubbish.

This is mostly just planning in my head though, nothing definite, may not go at all if circumstances aren't right.

Ladle

so it's just a holiday in Spain?

Sir Bert Preast

Ibiza and Mallorca out of season, you'll be partying with a few grannies over a nice cup of tea.

Tanman007

Well screw Majorca and Ibiza then.

Probably just be Barcelona , Madrid and Cordoba on the Spanish leg then.

Sir Bert Preast

Why Cordoba?

Tanman007

Been told that its absolutely worth a visit. The Mezquita and the other Moorish stuff.
