Well according to this chart Tourism to Spain is almost back to where it was. You seem to have forgotten there was a pandemic in 2020 and 2021. I doubt Spain will be that fussed about a few Brit motorhomers that probably dont spend much anyway knowing how tight most of them are. https://tradingeconomics.com/spain/tourist-arrivals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is no coincidence that the word smog (smoke+fog) is yours. LEZ and ULEZ have probably reduced the smoke but the fog remains. How lucky I am to live in a country where 75% of people live in their own home and about 20% own a holiday home in a sunny region and do not need to buy (or rent) an apartment in one of the hideous condominiums that crowd the Mediterranean coasts of Spain. p.s.1: Some Italians (I know a couple) have bought one in the Canary Islands or in Portugal but only for the tax benefits that derive from them. Because he would have no other reason to do so. p.s.2: One of the links you posted claims that four millions Brits go on holiday to Spain. Where did the eleven milllions come from ? Try not to contradict your own sources. On the doorbell buttons of the condominiums on the Costa Brava I have read many Mullers and no Smiths. Maybe you say that the British rent houses from Germans owners ? Errrr, I havent posted any links on this thread so I have no idea why you claim I have posted up links about Brits going to Spain? Maybe all that sun has gone to your head . You seem very confused and also very racist towards the British, hopefully thats something our moderators can take a look at as racism is not a very nice look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mainly referring to the cheddar cheese and Heinz baked beans brigade who spend all their time in their vans drinking Blue Nun and ranting on UK motorhome forums all day long.

As far as the racism issue is concerned, I can only wonder which pulpit the sermon is coming from. In any case, I can safely say that I am not racist, not even towards the British, I have many friends among you. But maybe I am towards human idiocy and that doesn't depend on nationality or place of birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
