There are queues of old folks at nearly every Ibiza travel agent at the moment as the old dears rush to grab the heavily subsidised holidays that the Government treat them to every year.
Last week as soon as holidays to the exotically named Isla Canela (Cinnamon Island) in Huelva were released, the blue rinse brigade had snapped them up within minutes, and tickets to Salou are now at a premium after only one day on sale.
And who can blame the oldies for rushing for a bargain, with flights, accommodation, 3 square meals a day, and excursions included at just over €100 for 8 days, it beats staying at home. Let's face it, with all the big clubs closed in winter, what are they going to do here?
