With the cost of living sky high, finding a holiday that won’t break the bank is more essential than ever. So we’re looking for your suggestions for seaside pads in Europe that are fabulous but also affordable. Whether it’s a great-value campsite on the coast in France, a casita overlooking the ocean in Spain, or a Portuguese villa that’s light on the wallet, we want to hear about fantastic places to stay on a budget. Feel free to send in images to go with your entry – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
