There will soon be another option for your summer holiday plans

There's a new holiday hotspot in Europe that Brits will want to keep tabs on, as flights to the area are set to become more frequent.

In 2025, Jet2 will be adding an airport in a highly desired holiday destination that summer travellers will be licking their lips at.

Three airports across the UK will operate flights to and from the hotspot, having already started the route in May 2024.

Flights and holidays will be available from Birmingham, Leeds Bradford and Manchester, while the route started on 3 May 2024, and is set to run until 1 November 2024.

There will be weekly flights from Birmingham International Airport every Friday, while Leeds Bradford will also follow suit with flights every Tuesday, with Manchester Airport getting the weekly service every Saturday.

Holiday packages from these airports went on sale earlier today, landing in Jerez Airport - which is near to the destination in question.

Holidaymakers will have their pick of the litter from three to five-star hotels across six different resorts in the sunny region, in the south of Spain.

The area in question is Costa de la Luz, a region in southern Spain that is sure to rake in high levels of tourism as it becomes more accessible to Brits.

Steve Heapy, boss of Jet2, said: "We are absolutely delighted to be giving customers and independent travel agents the chance to discover an authentic slice of Spain thanks to the launch of Costa de la Luz as a brand-new destination for Summer 2025,

"As a result of this launch, customers can reach this stunning region and Spain’s best beaches from Jerez Airport, which becomes our 14th Spanish Airport, as well as from Faro Airport too."

He also explained that he was excited about adding this destination, with no doubt that it will be a hit with their customers.

Costa de la Luz stretches from Tarifa to the Guadiana River, which runs along the country's border with Portugal, another attractive summer destination.

The region also has another name, the 'Coast of Light', with there being a number of little-known hotspots to discover.

It's an area that has less fanfare than the usual areas you'd look to fly to, such as Alicante, Barcelona or even Benidorm - but that might be a good thing if you're looking for a laid-back holiday.

With clear waters on it's sandy beaches, pure culture and a rich history, what's there not to like?

The region is known for having 300 days of sunshine every year, according to Spanish Guides, so you'd be really unlucky to miss out on any of them.

Some of the cities and towns in this region that you should look to visit are:

Cadiz

A port city named as Spain's cheapest city break and featuring an array of history behind it.

Tarifa

Known as the windsurfing capital of the continent, it is popular with families for its particularly laid-back vibe.

Huelva

If you're a foodie, this is the place for you, with a wide variety of seafood restaurants to pick from - it's paella lover's paradise.

There are also a variety of beaches.

Conil de la Frontera

One of its main selling points is the Torre de Guzman, a landmark 14th century tower that was part of the old castle and city walls.
