The Costa del Sol is now 40% cheaper!
According to Euro Weekly News, Spain’s largest free local newspaper in English, the British are seeing an average 40% drop in Spanish holiday costs! That’s fantastic news!
Research from Post Office Travel Money says that, compared to five years ago, the ‘Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer‘ shows a drop in the cost of every-day holiday items of 40%.
The ’Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer‘ is based on eight items that tourist budgets are based on: a cup of coffee, a bottle of Heineken, a can of Coca Cola, a bottle of mineral water, a bottle of sun cream, some insect repellent, a packet of Marlboro Lights and a restaurant dinner for two people, with wine.
The average cost of these items on the Costa del Sol was shown to be just €46.00, compared to €87.00 on the Greek resort of Corfu! ’Hooray’ for the Cost del Sol, ‘Booo’ to Greece.
We all know that many are suffering from the economic recession, but it’s great to learn that the folk of the Costa del Sol are rising to the challenge and dropping prices to realistic levels.
