Morocco instead of Spain: where to go in winter for £15 from the UK.

According to The Sun: Plans for winter holidays in Spain may be jeopardized due to Ryanair flight cancellations, however, there is an alternative - sunny Morocco, which offers affordable prices and pleasant weather.

This country, located just a three-hour flight from the UK, offers temperatures above 20°C in winter months, and the average cost of lunch is just £3.50.

This year Ryanair announced the cancellation of flights to Spain due to increased rates from Aena, the state airport operator. Therefore, visiting Tenerife may turn out to be a more expensive option. Instead, it makes sense to consider Morocco.

North Africa can offer cheaper flights as Ryanair shifts some of its capabilities from Spanish airports to more competitive European markets, including Morocco.

Marrakesh

The city that impresses with its vibrant medina, desert activities, and bright cafes is Marrakesh, which is definitely worth a visit.

Located at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, the city has warm weather and plenty of sunshine during the winter months.

Lisa Minot, head of Sun Travel, noted: 'I had a wonderful weekend in Marrakesh, and the city is always rich in events…'

A flight from London (Stansted) to Marrakesh takes approximately three hours and 40 minutes.
