It’s been a long winter, and if you’re lucky you may be plotting a trip to warmer climes for some early summer sun. Whether you’ve enjoyed a trip to Spanish city before the July heat kicks in, Alpine slopes spangled with wildflowersor the beaches and islands of Greece, we’d like to hear the details. These could include great discoveries you’ve made: a hotel, restaurant or perhaps a walk, train route or a secret beach.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
