Writing for the Telegraph, Annie Bennett noted that the country still has a great deal to tempt British holidaymakers with.

 Holidaymakers planning to take flights to Spain have been offered some tips on how to save money and stick to luggage restrictions.
Writing for the Daily Mail, Sarah Gordon noted that it can be hard to remember what items are permitted to be carried in hand luggage and what must be stored in hold bags.
"Airlines tend to allow around 20kg of luggage per passenger to be checked in for a flight, but there are differences so it is always worth checking with the airline before travel," she commented.
For those taking flights to Spain with Ryanair, she noted that it currently costs £15 to check an item of hold luggage in online.

Brits offered top tips for cheap holidays in Spain |
|
|
|
|
 Brits planning to take holidays in Spain over the coming year have been advised that there are a number of ways they can cut the cost of their trip.
According to Thomson and First Choice, travellers can save money by booking their break early, especially if they have young children and travel times are confined to school holidays.
"There will be less chance to grab a last-minute deal nearer the summer so if you want to get yourself a bargain and ensure you have the best choice in holiday, now is the best time to book," said Dermot Blastland, managing director of TUI UK and Ireland.
Other top tips include opting for a ten-day break rather than staying away for a fortnight, booking an all-inclusive package and shopping around for a good currency deal.
