Spain, the cheapest destination in Europe

In times of crisis we must look at the statistics and if we go through a portal in the UK, Spain is the country that should point the Europeans on holiday.

Is that according to an analysis by Skyscanner, Spain is priced 40% lower than five years ago in anticipation as the cheapest destination in Europe. Not only that, there are many reasons to visit its beaches and mountains as it has several points in its favor. For the portal, the climate is one of them, a “determining factor” for the abundance of sunny days. Germans and British are at this point a great reason to visit Spain and to forget their everyday gray days.

Skyscanner also confirms that other countries have lost competitiveness against Spain, as in the case of Greece and Turkey. Due to the major crisis in Greece, the Germans say they feel “Germanic phobia” or there are political reasons for European tourists who do not choose this location, which does not happen in the case of Spain.

Security is another key factor when choosing a destination and that is how the British prefer the security of places like Ibiza and Tenerife also booking hotels in Lanzarote or Gran Canaria, the most visited destinations.
