My parents and I are planning a holiday together - we are all grown ups, my father is retired and we would just like a couple of weeks in the sun by the beach with nice food. I would appreciate some suggestions of resorts in Spain.
Due to where my parents live, they can only fly direct to Barcelona, Alicante, Malaga or Jerez.
The only must haves are a beach, a little bit of life (shops and restaurants) and (relative) freedom from chavs. I appreciate that many holiday resorts in Spain are likely to suffer a little from the 'Brits on tour' syndrome, but I would like to avoid this. I am going on a holiday to another country, hence I would like to experience Spain rather than Bognor Regis (no offence to anyone who is from Bognor Regis).
Thanks in advance
