Europe on the March - Spain ‘no longer foreign enough’ say British tourists

[Siege]

   You guys are so provincisal.

The thing is Brits on holiday want guaranteed sun. While Torremolinos may be a hideous conglomeration of  ugly concrete hotels and lobster red fatties it is hot.  Fine by me, I much prefer Costa de Luz, Santandar and St Sebastian to stay relatively Brit free.

Torremolines has better gay bars. However, I prefer the Canaries - the sun shines longer there.

If you're after a lot of sunshine, you need to come to the Yukon in June.

Does it include lots of semi-naked gay men?

Already have lots of sun in June thanks. No need to travel.

This is very odd to me.
I thought the typical summer holiday person liked that it was like home but hotter and cheaper.
But that being said I do notice a increasing tendancy for Bulgaria and the like these days on account of them being much cheaper.

Oh, dear Lord, what could be more embarrassing than bumping into neighbors on holidays? 

That ALWAYS used to happen to me.
When you think about it though it makes sense- the local airport only flies to certain destinations, everyone goes off to Majorca, there's two main resorts there (or whatever). So though you are at the other side of Europe technically you're in a place very connected to home.

I hate British tourists, to the point where I pretend not to speak English when I come across my compatriots abroad.

It's a place larger then Poland with 30,000 people.  There aren't lots of naked anyone.

Same.  Especially on family holidays and holidays with friends.

It is pretty easy to hate Brits, I agree.  I prefer to hate them in the UK, though, where they are more concentrated, and there it is fun to hate them to the point where I pretend they cannot speak English.

British tourist can easily be spotted in any place with a modicum of sun light, by their characteristic pasty-and-lobster-red hue.
