Where holiday for taking pics & a relaxing beach?

[juno_first]

I was going go on a short notice holiday to Spain or Portugal. As just been made redundant & not had a holiday in 12 years.

I love taking pics of the countryside here as my Flickr link in sig will show.
I was thinking near the coast in Portugal/Spain with maybe an old village nearby that's photogenic.
Also an all-in hotel but not bothered about booze or nightlife & will be going on my own.

Does anyone know of any nice scenic places over there that are close to a hotel as don't fancy driving there.

Thanks

Thanks guys. I also heard Lotto is Tossa de Mar is nice. Looking forward to putting the sigma 35mm through its paces.
Yes I'm quite fit & do cycling & stuff.

Yeah wide open it can be unforgiving but it can also be used for effect, like in this pic only the bench is in focus.
