Muchas gracias por el vídeo Stuart still catching up on videos haven’t long got back toUK
Queues at Spanish airports for brits is not a direct result of Brexit but deliberate backlash by Spain to "teach us a lesson". In the long term brits will holiday in more friendly countries and Spain will suffer.
Tourists turning away from Spain.
SPAIN under the new measures, tourists will only be allowed to have six drinks a day. On top of that, these will be restricted to lunch and dinner times, meaning people will only be allowed three tipples per meal.
There is a maximum of six alcoholic drinks per person per day that can be served and these drinks will be provided only during lunch and dinner (three each). Please be aware that there is new restriction on All Inclusive Holidays.
Great news for Spain Stuart regarding the electric bills. Thanks for the update
Good news about electricity prices but will that be passed on to those of us on caravan parks?
I just went through Alicante Airport on the 19th and no issues with Customs or Health officials. Love Benidorm, 🇪🇸!
Traveled from the USA.
Nothing more insulting to the British than to see the Irish people having some privileges.
Many thanks, Stu! Love the videos and have been watching for a couple of years now. I'm glad you are clarifying the rules to the many Brits who watch the channel. Brexit was the UK's decision to leave the EU, so for Brits who can no longer stay 90 days in Spain (really the EU zone), or who see EU people in shorter lines at airports, this was their choice. Spain and the EU didn't ask for this. From what I recall, Brexit was more about "immigration" at the time and I doubt these travelling implications were a major component of that referendum. This is what the country decided, however.
In 2016, then-President Trump was elected in the US with about 34% of the voting population selecting him. Americans had to live with that decision during those years (for better or worse), too, even if the majority of citizens didn't vote for him. #votingmatters.
If Brits want to get back into the EU, perhaps they can petition their government instead of blaming Spain or the EU. My 2ø…
Pensión solutions… COVID.
Funny, we all payed for our pensions… where did the money go?
Why should non eu counties be punished? Not only the sovereign UK!
Hi Stuart, Queuing at the airport to the point of missing your flight isn't in my opinion a result or the reality of Brexit! It would suggest to me that the airport staffing is insufficient to deal with the volume of traffic. I can't recall hearing reports of other non EU travellers having the same problem so again suggesting that the staffing at the airport and their ability to deal with the change is at fault. For a country that is heavily dependent on tourism, to potential create such a negative travelling experience to a major part of its market (the UK) is not very productive!
In my very humble accommodation in Mexico, my electricity bill is less than two euros a month.
Interest in travel to Rota and Cadiz, hope car rental has not gotten to expensive from my last time some years prior to pandemic visiting from the states. I will rent in Portugal and drive to Spain and to Sevilla then fly on. Checking to see how rental companies work where you pickup in one location and drop off in another. In my case in a different country. Nice review Stewart. I also like your tongue and check about the smart politicians that will solve the future pension problems in Spain.
The weather has been dismal. Meaning more heating needed inside and spending more on electricity.
Spain has probably the WORST political class in the EU. What a bunch of clowns, FFS!
No it’s because we give the Irish preferential treatment, Also we don’t make non British citizen’s que up for hours missing their flights & blaming it on their nationality. Considering how long Spain has had to gear up for it’s largest group of visitors no longer being in the EU what’s the excuse?
Is the gov't subsidizing electricity bills? Will they raise taxes to fund the subsidies?
Best tapas are in Bailen. They even have tapa menus where you get to choose which hot or cold tapa you want. A menu for "free" food, sign me up!
We sailed through Málaga security today. A week ago Bristol was the busiest I have ever seen. After arriving in Gib last Thursday and immediately crossing the border into La Linea we had to show prove of hotel bookings to cross into Spain. From Algeciras we took a shared car ride to Jerez I can recommend the company and the drivers have a rating.
Did anybody mention another amazing win by Carlos on Sunday? ¡Que Chico!
Hi Stu, absolutely superb end of your video today! I couldn’t help laughing. 😆 It remains to be seen one single undisputed benefit from Brexit. I will not hold my breath. 😔
Longer wait at the airport..a price worth paying for leaving that corrupt organisation called the EU.
Grenade thrown 😆😆😆
No real queues coming home from Faro Portugal Feeling happy I cancelled the flight to Malaga
MalagaCar.
I see that due to UK is the largest tourist group in Portugal that they decided to give them their own line. Now Portugal is a smaller country and as such could be more adversely affected by UK tourist not going to Portugal plus it gives them an advertising advantage over Spain with attracting UK tourists. Though I think this could be a double edge sword as far as attracting tourist from other non EU countries, besides making your country more dependent economically on tourist from one country.
It’s bizarre so many people in the uk are STILL not understanding the consequences of Brexit.
Ireland is in the EU. The UK is not.
Therefore the rules that apply to the rest of the world now apply to you too.
Like you voted for.
I can’t enter Spain as more than 270 days since last vaccination can’t have anymore due anaphylactic shock at 2nd vax, haven’t had covid so no recovery certificate, can’t enter via neg test either. Tomorrow we are going to Croatia having done a test (neg). Thought the good news was going to be can enter with a neg test oh well Spain will have to wait.
Regarding your comment re Irish and British passport holders
I recently returned to Northern Ireland The couple in front of me
Pensioners were separated at customs because the lady had a British and the
Man an Irish passport this caused a lot of distress for the lady
Northern Ireland is still in the EU to safeguard the peace
However EU is now discriminating against British passport holders from Northern Ireland'
This is the reason I gave up my rental property
You are so funny!! Love your dry sense of humor!!
there is no excuse for delays at airports the uk people are still human beings this is positive discrimination?
Strange attitude Stuart. So Brexit should lead to queues of up to 2 hours should it? What an arrogant position you take. We flew in to Lyon in Feb on a full flight and were met with a large, snaking queue. We were through within 20 minutes. Similar when we flew to Crete last year and same for Antigua. And so why should Spain take that long. Simple, they don't put enough staff on. If I were in Madrid I'd offer to meet up and demonstrate how it works.
Loving Brexit 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
When have ever privately owned companies ever given money back to its customers?? Dream on… Tony cuenca
I'm currently in Ireland as a British citizen. Ireland is in the EU but not in Schengen. No passport check and no 90 day restriction. I could even live and work here without a visa. So Brits are still not treated entirely the same as other non-EU citizens.
That website at the end… 😅
Cheaper car rental usually means the damage waiver is far higher.
March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers. Marzo ventoso y abril lluvioso sacan a mayo florido y hermoso. The same.
In Spain we call February "crazy little February" because of the changeable weather, and this April seems crazy too not only in Spain attending to comments here from the UK and Ireland.
Have a Irish passport what’s the update on unvaccinated getting into Spain
