If there is one destination that has been popular with tourists from the United Kingdom for the past 3 decades, it’s Spain. The low cost flights (and coach journeys) coupled with cheap hotels, cheap beer and sandy beaches have proved a top draw from tourists all over the UK. Spain, like most European countries has lots of offer, regardless if you’re just looking for a beach or something more cultural.

What is particularly niche to see these days is more and more tourists treating Spain and the people who inhabit the country with a lot more respect. Many tourists are now taking the steps to learn spanish with a view of holding conversations with the locals in their native tongue as opposed to simply being an ignorant tourist who expects everyone around them to speak English - regardless of which country they’re in.

I personally feel that Spain will never lose its appeal to the UK tourist, mainly because of the distance it is from the UK coupled with its diverse culture. It will always be popular. If more and more UK travellers begin to learn spanish also, the locals in Spain will welcome UK tourists for many years to come.
