We are a group of 8 people ranging from 30 to 55 and we traditionally sojourn to the Caribean and bareboat charter a sailboat for a week in February.

This year, the boss (my spouse) has declared that she does not wish to bareboat and wants to find a warm place in the "med" to visit, rent a condo on the beach and read a book.

Now, the truth is that she loves to party! So, she may wish to sit on the beach during the day but she wants to hit 5 night spots to dance and sing all night.

We normally like to travel/vacation in the winter (Wisconsin is cruel for February) and we wonder if there is a place in the Med which would be warm enough for us (we could wait till mid March, I suppose).

Any suggestions/recommendations for this group to travel to for a destination this coming March in the "med" area? Beach village areas sound most attractive but we know absolutely nothing about the areas.

Help! don

With 8 people a party is where ever you make it. Great dinners with lots of wine in cozy spots in Provence. However, if you really want night life, I would head up to Barcelona!! Not that warm in March, but party all night. Have fun!

Canary Islands. True, not technically in the Med, but real close, warm, and party central.

I always thought I might like to substitute time on the Amalfi Coast and Capri for one of our more frequent Caribbean trips.

Nowhere in the Med is warm in February. You could be lucky and arrive on an unusually warm day, but on the whole, the Med is cool. If you want beach and sunbathing, you will need to go further south (eg Morroco, Canary Islands, Upper Egypt) and even then, it's not guaranteed. Sorry.
