Joining #PTTravel from North Yorkshire. Strange weekend, quiet at home now that we’re a 2 rather than 3, having dropped junior in Manchester on Friday to start his new life!

A1 #PTTravel I think a hidden gem is in the eyes of the beholder. It can be something not a lot of people know about. The North Coast has a lot of hidden gems I think.

A1 #PTTravel Anything that's not in the guidebook, or I wasn't expecting. For instance, I suspect not many have heard of La Alberca

A1- Hidden gems are those places nobody really talks about, but just as amazing or more than the places that get all of the attention. It could be a city or hidden oasis within a city

A1 (I shall set aside my dislike for the phrase!)
Usually a little cafe or food place just started out. Had a lovely meal in Mae Sai which we found by accident #PTTravel

A2 Not really hidden, but I much prefer Saltburn or Staithes to Whitby, for example. Beautiful coast but significantly fewer people. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 Cartwright Hall in Bradford #PTTravel https://t.co/CwHOlToc8g It has a very interesting collection of South Asian Art and work by David Hockney. It's just a couple of mins walk from my front door.

A3 My favourite hidden gem in Spain is Avilés in Asturias. It’s home to just 80,000 (similar to Burnley) and hosts one of the maddest festivals I’ve ever witnessed. #PTTravel
