With all the travel experience out there, what are your suggestions for a January-mid February vacation in Europe? The first requirement is that it has to be an economical place to go--like the Algarve. We don't need hot beach weather, and would be happy wearing a sweater or light jacket during the day sometimes.

We like history, interesting towns, markets, museums and scenery.

We are thinking about the Algarve again, but wondering if there is somewhere else that would have these features.

Looking forward to your ideas. Nancy Coffey Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada
