  • Majorca Jewel Loses Shine
    For years Majorca has been the jewel in the crown of Spanish tourism - successfully attracting Europeans, especially from Germany and the UK, but also further afield in recent years as Americans, Canadians, Russians and Australians have discovered for themselves that a holiday in Majorca isn't just plenty of sunshine and good beaches
  • New Landmark For Monaco
    Paris has the Eiffel Tower, and it has become an instantly recognisable symbol of the French capital - send a postcard from Paris with the Eiffel Tower on the front and the recepient will know where you have been visiting before even reading the card

    And now Monaco, the second smallest country in the world, which borders France, is hoping to build a landmark which will become as recognisable the world over in the same way the French icon is
  • Credit Crunch Holds No Fears For 2008 Malta Holidays
    The credit squeeze, Oil prices and higher aviation fuel costs might suggest that Malta, which is a three hour flight from her main market of the United Kingdom, might see a drop in tourist numbers this year

    And with the media reporting on a possible recession there could be even more reasons why a holiday in Malta might not be top of everyone's list for summer 2008
  • Andorra Real Estate Beating Recession
    Dire warnings have been coming thick and fast from the world's finance community that property prices in the West are likely to fall heavily in 2008 and through to 2009

    But the tax haven of Andorra goes against economic reasoning and could see a rise in value this year - over the inflation rate - just as it has done over the last five years
  • Holiday Island Greets Super Cars
    Vacation island Menorca has worked hard to cultivate her image of a serene, peaceful destination over the years, and appeals to parents with toddlers, couples in their thirties and forties, and the older generation - and of all the holiday islands the take up of villa holidays is most likely in Menorca as opposed to hotel based ones
  • The Last King Of Spain?
    A young King Juan Carlos helped steer Spain from a dictatorship to a modern democracy after he came to the throne some 32 years ago, and his achievements include defending the fledgling democracy in 1981 from an attempted coup

    Once popular and regarded as a man of the people, recent times have been more troubling for the king as political groups on both the left and right have called for an end to the Spanish monarchy
  • Prince Albert Of Monaco Hits 50
    He has a world of glamour as his kingdom, and Prince Albert of Monaco could be forgiven for enjoying life to the full and simply having the best of times in and around Monaco

    But as the prince turns 50, his reputation is deservedly a more serious one among his fellow world leaders
  • 60th Anniversary Celebrations For The Queen And Duke
    Britain's Queen Elizabeth came to the British throne when she was only 25, and at her side has been Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who married the Queen in 1947

    In the modern world of celebrities, celebrity relationships, marriages and highly publicised breakdowns - including that of her son Prince Charles and Princess Diana - it is easy to forget that the Queen has acted with grace and seldom complains of press coverage when it is unfavourable - unless it is simply untruthful, when the British Press Complaints body intervenes
  • New Cash For 2008 Andorra Ski Holidays
    Austria, Switzerland and Andorra were among the European ski countries last year who saw a decline in ski holiday visitors, and Andorra has been investing in her facilities to try and tempt the skiiers she lost back for the 2008 season

    In the past Andorra has grown in stature from a destination offering cheap ski holidays to one that can compete with the best that Europe has to offer, with a growing number of ski holidays being taken in the country over the last decade to the point where it was attracting some ten million tourists a year
  • Majorca Number 1 For 2007 British Holidays
    An annual battle between holiday resorts to attract visiting tourists and their wallets each summer is over, and it appears that the Spanish island of Majorca has won over the British market at least

    Since the advent of package holidays some fifty years ago initiated by holiday companies such as Thomas Cook and Thomson Holidays, whole areas of Spain and other European countries have built their economies around tourism, and each year they hope that the holidaymakers will come to their area
  • New Airport Boost For Andorra
    Once a poor European country with no real economy, Andorra has been transformed in the past forty years to a vibrant independent State, sought after by the wealthy for her tax haven status, and skiers for her ski runs that match the best in Europe for facilities and ski holidays infrastructure

    The one drawback that Andorra has had is the distance from a major airport, two and a half hours drive to Barcelona in Spain or Toulouse in France, with some ski holidays starting with a night in one of the hotels in Barcelona before setting off for Andorra
  • Majorca Real Estate On Brink Of 2007 Price Drop
    Mallorca real estate has been popular for several decades now, with many Europeans who have holidayed on the Spanish island deciding to buy a second home for holidays, a business, or for retirement

    Prices have risen on the island as buyers - mainly British and German - have moved in, but there are mixed signals coming from the property and tourist sectors, which could see a freeze in Majorca property inflation, and possibly even a dip in prices in the near future
