Doesn't it just (and I agree it's a shame they don't include actual content). It maybe a little over zealous however I hope it has a positive impact on Spanish tourism
Well I think, certainly in the UK that the mood is very much that that they've suffered thru this recession now for two years, not spent, not had holidays, were promised a "BBQ summer" last year that didnt happen, have had a grim winter..... So this summer I think people are thinking "sod it!· we're having a holiday!!!! Spain is still a short, relatively cheap flight and guaranteed sunshine!!

I think it'll be a good year too, basically because if I lived in the UK and had just had the recession that they'd had, plus the weather that they've had,:smow: I'd be ready for a holiday in Spain :whoo:
You know if you sign up to friends of the paradores you can end up staying at a parador from around €60 a night, and also at the moment there are some at €45. Some of these government sponsored paradores are incredible
Yes they sure are, one of our friends booked a holiday a few years back and for the duration of said event stayed in different paradores across Spain. The standard of accommodation (based on what they told us) was very high despite prices being reasonable
Hey we should all offer our services to the Spanish tourist board.....that is one thing I've noticed the average Spanish biz in not good at, marketing (even state run services like Tourism could be delivered to the target audience is a more effective way)
When was the last time anyone paid £1.15 (1.27€) for a litre or 1.5L of still mineral water in a supermarket? It's usually less than 2€ for SIX large bottles of supermarket's own brand or 3€ for a marque like Font Vella?
You pay that much only in a small grocery store.
I suppose this might be Advertising, we dropped our B&B rates to 30 euros for a twin en-suite room, and decided to charge extra for breakfast, so people on a lower budget could buy and prepare their own in the kitchen. People seem to prefer to do it that way!!
I had to do my airport run this morning. The arrivals board on my PC has doubled in size, and when I got to the airport it was so busy. OH said his flight was full to bursting and there were several other full planes arriving. It certainly felt very positive there. We then went to Torremolinos this afternoon and again that was packed. We managed to find a parking space, but it wasnt easy and the bars and restaurants were all full, the paths were crowded and again there was a really positive feel. I know its a holiday week coming up but still only March.
