Experiencing new cultures and foods is one of the best things about going away. Last minute holidays to places that you don't know much about, combined with a little bit of last minute research on the impromptu getaways out there, can result in some of the most exciting trips. If you're thinking about a trip to Lanzarote, Spain, but are unsure about taking the plunge, read on to find out a little bit more.

Provence. Idyllic, quiet, peaceful. Known for its incredible scenery, scenery which has inspired countless artists and poets over the past few centuries. Renowned for its comfortable tradition of home cooked food and fresh produce. Dipping its toes in the Mediterranean, it stretches all the way to the foothills of the towering French Alps. With art, culture, scenery, fine cuisine, and a host of tiny villages to explore, the Provençal region is without a doubt one of the greatest road trip destinations in Europe.
