Spain's Costa del Sol easily lives up to its name as it receives almost 365 days of the sun's warm rays per year. This week's Smart Deal offered by Gate 1 Travel (tel. 800/682-3333; www.gate1travel.com) is an air-and-hotel package for five nights on Spain's sunny coast from $649, priced for January-March travel. If you book by December 23, you'll save $50 per person off the regular price; make sure you use the code SSCS50.
The lowest advertised price is based on travel from New York-JFK to Malaga, Spain, and includes the roundtrip airfare, fuel surcharges, and five nights at a beachfront property, and daily breakfast where noted. There are quite a few departures to choose from, too: January 19, 26; February 2, 9, 16 and 23; and March 2. The base price's hotel choices are either Sol Principe or Cervantes, both located in Torremolinos. Upgrades to the Melia Costa del Sol or the Hotel Las Piramides are available from $90.
If you want a break from the sun, take some time to explore the Andalusia region with one of Gate 1's option trips to destinations such as Marbella, Cordoba, or Granada.
