Winter retreats
List of good places to retreat for cold months.
Beneficio, Spain
Up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, this permanent Rainbow village has been a resting point for many travelers for the last... 30 years? Be warned: Very hippie!
Chefchaouen, Morocco
Also up in the (Rif) mountains, this is a very relaxed, small blue Moroccan town. Created and painted blue by the Jews of Andalusia after they were expelled following the Reconquista. You can get a bed for 2 euros in the low season, and if you're into it, there's lots of kif around. Less hustlers, and not as aggressive, as other Moroccan cities.
Granada, Spain
Student city and quite a lot of hippies around, too. Some folks are living up at the mountains in caves, but it's tiny bit cold in a cave during winter months. Average day temperatures are around +13°C/+55°F.
Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain
Very nice weathers, probably one of the warmest spots in EU during the winter. CHT#1 a live hacklab is in Lanzarote.
