Stunning Spanish resort where it’s 23 degrees in February is just £24 flight from UK

This is how to get cheap flights from the UK to Europe

If you're looking for a last-minute break in the sun then you can get cheap flights to this European destination.

The beautiful Spanish resort of Gran Canaria attracted 6.2 million and 4 million overseas holidaymakers last year.

It's popular during the height of summer, with tourists flocking to the beaches including the seaside resort of Playa del Ingles.

The spot has a golden beach that stretches almost three km and is classed as one of the "most visited and crowded" on the island.

However, a TikTok user, Explore Canary showed a different side to the resort recently, which was much more peaceful and empty.

They wrote on the caption of the video: "Today, 3 February, [it's] 24 degrees!".

"Good start for this month. Are you going to Gran Canaria in February," they added.

Although tourists flock to the Canary Islands all year round, February and March are still classed as the low season - where the temperature is still high and the flights are at the cheapest.

At the time of writing a last-minute flight to Gran Canaria from the UK in February is priced from £58 for a round trip and from £25 for a single trip via Skyscanner.

While March is even cheaper, with £44 for a roundtrip or just £24 for a single fare on Skyscanner.

Some of the cheapest airports to fly from include London Stansted for £26, Newcastle and Birmingham for £27, Edinburgh for £31 and Manchester for £33 for dates across February.

If you're looking in March then some flights are even cheaper, with £24 flights from London Gatwick, or £25 from Belfast and £27 from Bournemouth.
