We Brits love beach breaks and have been taking tour operator package holidays abroad to European holiday destinations like Spain, the Algarve and Greek Islands for decades and 2013 will be no different. Sun, sand and siestas is what ticks the box for our summer holidays in June, July and August but also for our winter breaks in Europe where an extra burst of sunshine on the beach in November, January or February is just what we need to ward off those UK winter chills!
