Three Spanish cities with beaches and short flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport have been highlighted as perfect options for an extreme day trip, where travellers fly to an international destination and return within 24 hours, bypassing the need for overnight accommodation.
What Is an Extreme Day Trip?
An extreme day trip involves flying to a destination and returning home the same day, allowing travellers to explore a new place without the cost of a hotel. The trend has gained popularity as a budget-friendly way to see more of the world. Traveller @justhummyw on TikTok shared three routes from Liverpool that offer sunny Spanish beaches at a fraction of the price.
Palma, Majorca
Palma is known for its vibrant city, Gothic cathedral, medieval town, and coastal beaches. A 20-minute bus connects the airport directly to the beach. Options for extreme day trips from Liverpool Airport are available on July 12 and 14. The traveller said: "You can go to Palma, there's a 20-minute bus that connects the airport directly to the beach. This is the perfect day trip, the city is so nice, there's loads of restaurants and really good shops."
Alicante
Alicante is less than a three-hour flight from Liverpool and offers year-round Mediterranean sunshine, golden sand urban beaches, and rich history. Day trips are available on July 8, August 4, and August 5. Hummy said: "I've never been to Alicante but it's a really short flight and I've seen lots of people do day trips here."
Malaga
Malaga is slightly further, with a three-hour flight, but boasts beautiful urban beaches, a world-class art scene, and deep historical roots blending Roman, Moorish, and Renaissance influences. Options are available on July 14, 15, and August 11. Hummy noted: "Malaga is a little bit further, it's a three-hour flight but there's a lot to see there and once you're there you've got the beach, the marina and the city."
These extreme day trips allow travellers to escape the everyday hustle and bustle without the expense of multi-day stays, making international travel more accessible.
