What's more, his flights to and from Spain were not booked with relaxation in mind, he told the Mirror.

 Villa rentals in Spain remain a thriving market which Britons are advised not to miss out on, according to one firm.
The strength of the euro against the pound is putting many British investors off buying a holiday home in Spain but, despite currency fluctuations, they could still be losing out on bargains by not doing so, claims Spanish Hot Properties.
Nick Stuart, managing director of the company, said that the majority of buyers at present seem to be based in countries where the euro is the currency.
However, properties in Murcia can sell for less than 200,000 euros (£180,630), he added.
