Share your tips on places where the summer of love lives on

It’s 50 years since the ‘flower children’ gathered in San Francisco to turn on, tune in and drop out. Tell us about places around the world where that hippy vibe lives on

Much has changed since that heady summer of 1967 when young people converged on Haight-Ashbury to reject consumerist values and embrace long hair and drugs. We’d like to hear about any beaches, bars, restaurants or guesthouses – Morocco, India, Formentera perhaps? – where the hippy spirit lives on. It could be an island where you can sling your own hammock on the beach, a hotel, bar or cafe that has hardly changed since the days of the hippy trail, or a small festival that exudes idealistic community spirit of the 60s.

Send us a tip via GuardianWitness, with as much detail as you can (including website and prices etc, if possible) in around 100 words.

The best tips will appear in print in next weekend’s Travel section and the winner, chosen by Lonely Planet, will receive a £200 hotel voucher from UK.hotels.com, allowing you to stay in more than 260,000 places worldwide. Submit your tip by clicking the blue button and using the text tab.

You’re welcome to add a photo if you own the copyright to it – but it’s the text we’ll be judging.
