What? Nothing West of Spain and Portugal? You're excluding all the
best parts of Europe!
On a more serious note, all of Europe will be swarmed with other
European tourists that time of year. Consider off-the-beaten path
destinations rather than major cities.
Yeah - not the most coherent sentence I've ever written. Basically I
meant the west region of Spain and Portugal.
Unfortunately, due to work this is the only time of year that we're
able to take an extended vacation. I would love to see Europe in
autumn or winter but like every other working slug we have to go
during the summer. Your mention of off-the-beaten path destinations
interests me because I'm more of an off-the-beaten path kind of guy -
at least that's what I've always assumed about myself from my love of
out of the way diners and cheap dive bars. Perhaps I'm just low
class. Something to think about at least.
