A HOLIDAY hotspot in Portugal has been named as Europe's sunniest destination – and Brits can bag flights for just over a tenner.
Brits who head abroad for their summer holidays often want the sunshine guaranteed.
Recent research from Club Med has revealed the best destinations to visit in Europe where Brits can head for a sunny break.
The list of Europe's sunniest destinations was created after analysing the number of sunlight hours each day, average temperatures, rainfall levels, and sea temperatures.
At the top of the list is Faro in Portugal, which has 11 hours of sunshine every day during the summer and average temperatures of 24C too.
The Algarve capital is also the only destination in Europe to have an average of zero rainy days during the summer.

Marbella in Spain is already popular with Brit holidaymakers who are after some summer sun, and featured too.
The Spanish hotspot also has 11 hours of sunshine during the summer but has more rainy days than both Faro and Portugal combined.
Palermo in Sicily and Dubrovnik in Croatia are also fairly sunny, although have more rainy days than the other top spots.
