Where would you rather be than in a classroom for hours on end practising all those exercises that seem to be a requirement to prove you know English?  Maybe lazing around on a beautiful beach in Menorca, like the one above.

Plus, this one has an all-star cast and you get to see pretty gardens and trains.  What's not to like?

Have you, like me, got a summer to-do list as long as your arm?  Or are to going to take it easy in August?
