Millions of Britons are set to escape the wet August weather and head to Spain this weekend.
With the rain continuing to pour down in the UK, The Travel Association (Abta) has estimated that up to two million Britons will leave the country between August 22nd and August 25th.
Friday and Saturday are expected to be the busiest two days, with 420,000 holidaymakers travelling through Heathrow Airport and 260,000 departing Gatwick.
According to Abta, holidays to Spain remain a firm favourite, with Britons attracted by the guarantee of sunshine.
British holidaymakers are heading to Spain in their droves as they attempt to escape the terrible UK weather.
As the rain continues to pour down in the UK, pictures in today's Daily Mail reveal that Britons are flocking to the Spanish Costas in search of some Mediterranean sunshine.
Temperatures on the Costa Blanca reached 32 degrees Celsius yesterday, while those staying on the Costa del Sol near La Manga Club experienced similar highs.
The Daily Mail reports that some popular resorts are fully booked, as people defy the credit crunch and book last minute breaks.
A recent study found that almost half of Britons use their holidays as a form of therapy and to improve their overall well-being.
According to Cater Allen Private Bank, 43 per cent of people use their holidays to de-stress and unwind, while 17 per cent of Britons admitted that they "live for" their annual break in the sun.
When it comes to rest and relaxation, no one does it better than Spain's exclusive La Manga Club, where guests are spoilt for choice by the number of activities on offer.
Richard Dunn, Managing Director at Cater Allen, said: "The two week summer break has become an essential respite for hard working Britons.
Britons visiting La Manga Club this summer may have the opportunity to rub shoulders with royalty.
Euro Weekly news reported earlier this week that Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia and a number of other high-profile royals are currently holidaying Marbella's Al Riyad Palace.
The Prince and his entourage have reportedly been spotted "frequently" around the sea front and in the resort of Puerto Banus.
Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz's yacht – Shaf London – is currently anchored close to the shore of Marbella.
British holidaymakers spend around £50 million of their savings annually to fund their travels, according to new research.
A study carried out by Abbey revealed that the average Briton spends over ten per cent of their income on holidays in the sun – equating to around £1,650 annually.
Of those surveyed, 26 per cent claimed that spending money on a luxury holiday – such as a trip to La Manga Club – was the best way to use excess cash.
It was also revealed that for many Britons holidays are now viewed as an essential expenditure, with 33 per cent of respondents admitting that taking luxury holidays was one of their top priorities.
Britons flying to Spain with Ryanair this month will not have their flights disrupted by strike action, the airline has claimed.
Check-in staff and baggage handlers at Gatwick and Stansted airport are expected to go on strike on August 25th and August 29th.
However, Britons travelling to La Manga Club during these times need not be concerned, with Ryanair planning to operate its full flight schedule.
Speaking earlier this week, Ryanair's Stephen McNamara said: "It is irresponsible to hold passengers to ransom and we will not allow it to disrupt Ryanair passengers.
Holidays in Spain don't come much better than holidays to La Manga for swimmers, marine sports fans and admirers of all things aquatic.
The luxury holiday resort in Spain benefits from not one but two seas: the Mar Menor - also known as the Minor Sea, the Little Sea and the Great Pool - and the Mediterranean.
La Manga del Mar Menor is perfect for families who want to introduce smaller children to the seaside as the coastal lagoon - which is the largest saltwater lagoon in Europe - boasts shallow warm waters and a gently sloping beach.
It is also ideal for those wishing to try their hand at water sports such as sailing, canoeing, swimming, waterskiing, jet-skiing and wind surfing.
Simple car games can turn a journey from hell with moaning kids into a fun activity for the family, according to swiftcover.com.
The Name Game involves picking a town and then choosing another beginning with its last letter, while in the Guessing Game, one person thinks of a favourite person and everybody else asks questions to be answered with a yes or a no.
Who's Next Door? is a fun and imaginative activity where youngsters make up stories about the people in the car next to them, while Spot the Car competition requires them to count a given number of a particular brand or vehicle colour.
