Wildflowers in Europe begin to bloom. At this time of year the Gargano Peninsula in Puglia is noted for its orchids, hyacinths and alyssums; agave is in blossom along the Algarve and Alentejo coastlines, and sorrel, rosemary, red poppy anemone create a colourful carpet in rural Cyprus.

With mild temperatures across Europe you can often explore in t-shirt and shorts during the day, wrapping up with a jumper during the evening. Visit Portugal’s second city, Porto; the small ‘white villages’ of Andalucia (Spain), and the fortified hilltop towns of Tuscany or combine the Italian art cities on a tailor-made holiday. Walking along the Rota Vicentina in southern Portugal is a true delight - the sights, fresh air and tranquillity will leave you refreshed and invigorated. What's more, you can witness dramatic rock formations, endangered wildlife, historical villages and ancient cultures walking the Douro International Park and the Coa Valley on our self guided walking holiday.

The Jerte Valley is renowned for its cherry blossom which blooms during spring.  Across the Jerte Valley, on the slopes and terraces, the landscape is transformed into a blanket of white and with over two million trees in bloom makes a truly beautiful sight.  Dependent on weather conditions, this unique scene normally occurs in the last week of March, lasting between 12-14 days.  During this time, to celebrate the blossoming of the trees, the Cherry Blossom festival, declared of National Tourist Interest, takes place.

There is a belief that the spring and autumn equinoxes coincide with strong displays of the Aurora Borealis. Whilst a sighting of this natural phenomenon cannot be guaranteed, our Three night stay at Haparanda Stadshotell in Swedish Lapland and our Svalbard, 'the land of our Arctic dreams' itinerary offer the optimum setting.

When people think of Brazil, the Rio carnival is often one of the first things that springs to mind. It is 4 days of dazzling costumes, Samba (the famous Brazilian dance) and vibrant parties that are well known throughout the world. Sunvil can take you there, including tickets for the Sambazone. The Rio Carnival can be incorporated into a longer trip designed to meet your requirements. Visit our website for more information on the most famous carnival of them all!
