Ah, Blue Monday. We meet again. Whether you think the ‘most depressing day of the year’ is a giant marketing ploy or you reckon there’s actually some science behind it, the third Monday in January is still a great time to plan your travels. It’s mid-winter, you need to book your time off for the year ahead, and there are still loads of travel deals to take advantage of.
Just in time for Blue Monday, the folks over at the Guardian have compiled a pretty inspiring list of places to visit in the coming months. From a little-known Portuguese fishing village to France’s newest gastronomic capital, the round-up covers all four corners of Europe and focuses on ‘sustainable adventures’.
