The wintermonths can be quit depressing. Cold, grey and wet is not the kind of atmosphere that creates smiles and laughter. Now we're finally heading towards spring, it's time to start thinking what you are going to do for the holidays. Take some time of and have a relaxing holiday in a place where they still know what the sun looks and feels like. Vivastay has some very nice offers on hotels that will not cost you a fortune, but will help you relax again.

A very popular destination at the moment seems to be Marrakech, one of the major cities of Marocco. Known as the ‘Red City', you will find the climate during Spring to be very pleasing, especially considering it's North Africa. From March until May temperatures will usually be between 23 and 28 °C. So you can walk around town in a t-shirt very comfortably and get a nice tan, but not sun roasted. One thing in particular to go and see is the largest souk (traditional market), at the Djemaa el Fna square. You will think you walked into a film set on this enormous square with acrobats, story-tellers, musicians, dancers en salesmen of all sorts. It's considered on the busiest of souks in entire Africa.

Although a holiday to North Africa sounds expensive, it does not necessarily have to be so. Your biggest expense will be the airplane ticket. If you book ahead, you can get good earlybird discounts. At the moment of writing this blog untill next Tuesday night (March 8th), you get 20% discount at Easyjet on any flight that flies between March 30th and July 13th. If you were to book a ticket right now, you would pay less then £100 for a return ticket from London Gatwick to Marrakech. If you are not traveling with a large group, going to the airport and waiting for a standby ticket could be a very good money-saving option as well. Through Vivastay you can book the hotel ahead at very low cost. This hotel in Marrakech offered by Vivastay is very well located and will only cost you £25 a night! You can book a hotel in Marrakech at Vivastay for as little as £13 a night. A £13 hotelroom will offcourse be basic, but the hotels through Vivastay come very well recommended, so you will be sure of a decent room. And who needs a bigscreen television, fullsized bar and a jacuzzi in their room anyway. Any good holiday you've ever had, probably has been one with little hours spend in the hotel room. What you need is a hotel with a good bed, with good hygiene and at a good location.

Getting your energy levels back up again after a long winter can really be worth it. Maybe you have a little less to spend for the summer holidays that way, but you will snap right out of that winter depression and have loads of enthusiasm and energy again at the time you need it most.
