Favourite hidden spots in Europe: readers’ travel tips

Pace yourself for a treasure trove of hideaways – from pirates’ lookouts in Mallorca to fishing villages in the Asturias and dinky Lapland ski resorts

My friend and I wanted to do some winter walking where the weather was sunny. We found the GR15 walking route in the eastern Algarve from Vila Real de Santo Antonio on the coast inland to Alcoutim following the Guadiana river. There are also smaller routes off the GR15. Absolutely stunning views and unspoiled. We stayed in Almada D’Ouro at Casa Da Paz – a beautiful B&B with views on to the river and just one two-bedroom suite (from £70). We had a bedroom each. A fantastic breakfast with fruit, ham, cheeses and eggs is included. A fire in the evening. A great host.

For many years, the world famous Boracay Island has been known as a noisy and crowded "party island," but this is far from the case now. After it has been closed for rehabilitation, there are many things that changed in Boracay compared to my last visit.

In a whirl: aesthetic overload in Vienna

Art, music, coffee, chocolate cake … the Austrian capital, also the cultural heart of Europe, has it all

Barely halfway through our first morning in Vienna and my wife, Alexa, has already succumbed to Stendhal syndrome. Named after the 19th-century French author who first described the phenomenon on a visit to Florence, Stendhal syndrome is brought on by over exposure to artworks of sublime beauty. The sufferer presents with heart palpitations, dizzy spells and, in the most severe cases, cardiac arrest. Alexa’s bout, which came on somewhere between Bruegel’s Hunters in the Snow and Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s Water, a surreal portrait composed of fish, in the magnificent Kunsthistorisches Museum, passed without the need for medical attention.
