Don't want our money? Ok.

[ReganAndCarter]

Depends on age, in my case no, it was me mum.

Was you chip shop ok?

Spakken ze English. His mil was trying to warn us not to put our towels down in a certain spot, and called him down when we couldn’t understand a word. They were washing down the path above and we’d have got covered in dirty water.

Likely story! Those k rauts will use any ruse to get their towels down first.

'Tis true, I don't lie. I'm not sure she (MIL) was full Gerry though.

The cove was a small inlet and the beach was 'compact'. You ended up almost shoulder to shoulder or toe-head with young women. I have never been to a place like it in my life. I felt like I was the oldest bloke in Dubrovnik. Rammed with beautiful young women of child bearing age. A lot of them were bra-less in the evenings. Awful place.

Seems like the Spanish, now they are back on their feet post-covid, are still trying to cut off their nose to spite their face.

One can't blame them when there are tourists who refuse to re-register their cars to Spanish registry when they keep their vehicles in Spain for 7,8 or 9 years, fraudulently providing UK Mot's and using useless UK based insurance for all that time.

Spanish anti-tourism sentiment shows no sign of flagging

This year appears to have marked a watershed for attitudes to tourism in Spain, with more protests planned.

What’s the betting that the year after next, they’ll be moaning that nobody is visiting?

If we in 'Great' Britain protested about 'tourists' or unwelcome visitors we'd all be locked up as right wing racists i guess?

There are a lot protesting about unwelcome visitors. Who and what they are you can decide.

But as for tourism. When a few wealthy people own a lot of houses for income ( but don't live there) from tourists and force locals (who work and live in the area) to move away, there is an issue. The area becomes very seasonal on income then.

What to do about it is the problem.

Almost everyone we know including us that would normally go to Spain, went to Crete this year. The Cretans weren’t complaining.
