The coastal and mountain highways of Northern California might be the stuff road trip dreams are made of, but with eye-watering gas prices, sky-high car rental rates ($500 for an economy compact and $700 for a Tesla Model Y, if you can snag one) and airports in disarray, it’s time to consider public transport for that next “let’s get out of town” weekender.

We’ve got the details on schedules, what to see and do, cool places to stay, and local, in-the-know spots to shop and eat. Even if you have a car, you’ll want to scope these out.

Brits heading to Barcelona face being slapped with a big fine if they break new rules introduced today. From Friday it is illegal to light up on any of the beaches in the historic Spanish cities. Puffing on a cigarette will see you landed with a 30 euro (£25 fine) if you are caught. READ MORE: 'I avoided beaches because my body wasn't perfect – but now I proudly wear bikinis' The move follows a pilot programme last year, which massively reduced the rubbish caused by cigarettes including butts being left on the beach. The city's website explains: "This ban is based on environmental protection and the right of citizens to enjoy a clean public space, free of smoke & cigarette butts.” Although Barcelona is the first city in the country to ban smoking on beaches outright, individual spots across Spain have long forbidden the practice.

Manchester United have cost themselves millions by passing up an early chance to sign Barcelona ace Frenkie de Jong. The Netherlands international, 25, looks destined to become Erik ten Hag 's first statement signing after the Red Devils agreed an initial £56million fee with Barcelona. Due to their desperate financial situation, the La Liga giants need to flog one of their prized assets to make way for new arrivals, and top earner De Jong is the ideal candidate. The Dutchman is also due a bumper pay increase ahead of the 2022/23 campaign - which Barca are unable to afford - and despite hoping for a bidding war, Man Utd are the only club to have so far shown an interest in pursuing a mega-money deal for the former Ajax maestro.
