Many predicted that the weak sterling rate against the euro may have meant a change of holiday plans for British tourists this year however Spain remains as popular as ever according to a recent report.

The report undertaken by Holiday Extras put Spain at the top of the list. The managing editor of Holiday Extras Mike Whiting said that people are booking in advance this year with other notable popular getaways including Portugal, France, Turkey and the USA.

The reasons for Spain’s continuing popularity are easy to see. Cheap flights, cheap accommodation and cheap car hire. Even taking the poor sterling rate into account you can still have a budget holiday in Spain.

Travel Agent Thomas Cook recently reported that on average in Murcia you can get a 3 course meal for less than twelve pounds.
