While we shudder quietly over
the story in The Mirror of the elderly
British tourist who found ‘too many Spaniards’ on her Benidorm holiday (here) and the report in The S*n
which says that sneaky Spanish inspectors are ‘counting the towels’ draped on the terraces to find the illegal
apartment lets, and the ‘go ahead and jump’ advice to those tourists in
Barcelona with a balcony (here in Público); we
can begin – those of us who don’t own souvenir shops or flag-waving bars – to consider
that it’s now the second-half of August: not long left before this splendid and
beautiful country settles down to the quieter season, when we residents will once
again be able to appreciate our surroundings – and wonder why we are never
mentioned or considered in the tourist-hungry literature of the Spanish resorts
despite our wealth, support and enthusiasm for this, our chosen country of
residence.
