 Spain is bracing itself for a bumper summer, it has been claimed.
Writing for the Leader, Dave Bull noted that although Spain is not hosting the World Cup, it is likely to attract thousands of fans who are keen to watch the action in the sun, rather than from the UK.
"Flight companies are forecasting a good summer with the kick start of the tournament bringing more punters over to Spain a little earlier in the year than usual so that they will be able to watch the football," he commented.
Mr Bull claimed that many rental car providers are already fully booked for June, with reservations looking much healthier than previous summers.

 British families hoping to jet abroad and soak up some sunshine this summer may wish to consider booking a holiday in Spain.
Sarah Munro, head of travel services at the Post Office, suggested that the country is likely to prove popular with UK travellers this year.
"With sterling beginning to strengthen against the euro and discounting in many popular eurozone resorts we expect these to do well in the coming months – particularly destinations that can be reached by ferries rather than air," she commented.
Ms Munro added that holidays in both Spain and Portugal can represent excellent value for money due to the relatively low cost of food and drink there.

 Britons jetting off on holiday to Spain over the coming months have been advised to purchase travel insurance before leaving the UK.
Erica Nelson, a spokesperson for Direct Line, said that although insurance did not cover many people left stranded by the recent ash cloud crisis, it can provide protection against many other things, such as medical repatriation.
