hey everybody.
I'm toying with the idea of taking a short holiday this March (around 4-10). since I don't have much time (and budget) I probably won't go further than Europe (I live in Israel). the obvious issue is the weather. winter in Europe is waay colder than here in Israel so I'm wondering if it's even a good idea and what my possibilities are.
unfortunately this is the only time I can go. I have about a week between the last exam and the next semester (I'm a student).
I haven't seen much of Europe. been to Paris, London, Berlin and Switzerland. I'm not sure if I'm into big cities right now but since weather doesn't really allow nature trip this time of year (or am I wrong?) I might have to settle for a city trip.
any ideas?
a few days in March

Consider Andaludia,Spain (Granada, Cordoba, Seville). The weather should be fairly mild. We were there last year about a week later then you will be going, and the weather was very mild - actually hot a few afternoons in Seville. We were traveling with our college age daughter during her college break. Lots of college students studying abroad in that part of Spain.
The weather also shouldn't be too bad in Rome, but that is a major city - maybe consider some time in Tuscany or Sicily in Southern Italy.
Here is a link to my blog post about our trip to Andalucia last March, incl pictures:
