Q. Like many South Africans, I like to take a recharge break in December, however, this limits travel destinations as so much of the globe is in winter. I'm thinking of taking advantage of the mild Mediterranean winter with a visit to southern Portugal and Spain this time. Would it be reasonable to think of this being a more affordable time to travel and without terrible weather? Can you suggest any itinerary - I think Lisbon and Seville could be fun. — Brendon Foster..
