... rather than being a little more adventurous? Everyone I know goes to Tenerife, Magulluf, Benidorm, Costa Del Sol, Lanzarote, etc....

I've never been to spain I go to places where there are few British like Croatia, Bali, Singapore etc the fact lots of British go there puts me off

never been to any of those meself, but I believe it's because Brits generally feel 'safe' with the same food, shops, entertainment, high rise blocks, building works etc that they get at home, it's just a bit warmer and not too expensive. I was a single parent but for less than the price of a holiday in Spain we've been to France, Andorra, Malta, Italy, Bulgaria, Morocco, Tunisia and several other countries on holiday. One family in Tunisia spoilt the food experience for me and my then young children by sitting in the restaurant moaning at every meal about the lack of burgers - thank God they only stayed a week!

Because the people there have some understandings of English and that is where people that want to go and work abroad in bars etc do go and they speak English.
As possibly because there are a lot of English based places in countries like Tenerife and the nightlife is good to, you can't argue with the prices in the supermarkets either lets be fair!!

I'm English and have never been to Spain but so far I have been to most European Countries (except Spain), Scandinavia, USA, Mauritius, Zambia, Malawi, Botswana, South Africa and plan to visit the far East and Australia as soon as I have saved up enough to cover the outrageous air fares.

probably because over the years spain has adapted itself to the british holiday maker,, you can walk in any of these resorts and have fish and chips or a full english breakfast,, so its really a home from home,, grin,, comfort zones are not stretched. grin.. I love just traveling,, i really dont care where,, as long as its away.

The Spanish live by very similar standards to the UK,no filthy habits with toilet paper ect.
