More and more of us want to get away for the festive season — whether it’s for a sun-drenched Christmas, a cruise, or the ski slopes, says Ciara McDonnell.

LANZAROTE is the ideal Christmas holiday destination for those who are looking for guaranteed sunshine and a laid-back atmosphere.

There are a few great deals still on offer for those looking to holiday on a budget. Falcon Holidays have a seven-night holiday departing from Cork on the 19th of December in the Rosamar Apartments, outside Playa Blanca for €290.
