Simone, The Canaries climate can hardly be called "mild" at this time of year. It's peak season there now (the only time it's in higher demand is New Year). I lived there for a few years and the only time it was "mild" was Nov-Feb when it hits 18-20oC.
Mallorca, as far as I remember, has never been target by ETA although they're not as German-friendly as they used to be. Something to do with increasing taxes to Germans looking to buy properties there but this was a few years ago so I can't remember the exact details. Being an island, it MIGHT be a little less at risk from Swine Flu that mainland Spain too. It could also be closer to 30oC than 20oC so it might be too hot for Gurminder but it's still an excellent destination if you keep away from the two horrible party areas that are spoiled by young Germans and young British louts.

Mediterranean area is crowed and very hot (32C minimum) in August. Best time is September. Nice place in Greece is ATHOS region, CHALKIDIKI – Hotel Eagles Palace – you may find good offers here: http://www.mzt.ru/ MOUZENIDIS is the biggest tour operator for this area. Nevertheless you may find very good offers for Mallorca because Swinflu and bomb terror of ETA + crisis … The warm climate, as you like, may you find at the Baltic coastline (for example: area of Klaipeda but without 5* hotel facilities, Sweden , Denmark , Germany might be full and very expensive for 5*** http://www.grandhotel-heiligendamm.de/online/page.php?P=965 ) or at one of the beautiful lakes in the Alps ( AUSTRIA : Zell am See, Kaernten/ Switzerland : Interlaken ). Canaries and Madeira have a mild climate too but these destinations are far away from Moscow (6+ hour’s flight). Good offers: http://db.travel.ru/hot/ http://avia.travel.ru/hot/ Sailing or a cruise might be a good alternative to match all your wishes. Your wish list sounds perfect and it would be great to know if you have found a place where you could get all!
