This is the time of year when people from all over northern Europe head for the sun-kissed beaches of the Costa del Sol in Spain - and they’ve been wintering in that part of the world for years, so they must be onto something. And now, with vacation packages to the Costa del Sol from New York for as little as $699 including airfare and resort stay, there’s no reason you can’t follow suit.

Here’s what you’ll get for the money:

• Round-trip airfare from New York (other cities available for a fee)


• Six nights in a resort hotel


• One full-day sightseeing tour of Ronda


• Breakfast each day at the hotel


• Airline fuel surcharges

You’ll still have to cover some taxes and fees for this deal, but overall it’s a good price for what you’re getting. Remember to read all the rules for this deal before you book, and don’t forget to pack the sunscreen.
