'Tis the season...

... to visit Europe. If you prefer snow over sand, or sipping mulled wine in centuries-old squares over baking hot temperatures and long queues, December ticks all the boxes. Not to mention the cinnamon-scented Christmas markets dotted over the continent. Go north to zip across Lapland on a dog sled or catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights in Iceland. Or head down south to Spain or Portugal where slightly warmer temperatures, tapas and seasonal delights await. We can hear those sleigh bells jingling from here.
