No Thanks! Pictures Show Staggering Numbers Of British Tourists On Spanish Beaches [Images]

What with all the doom and gloom of Nkandla, wind storms and load-shedding, these awful photos of a Spanish beach remind us why we love Cape Town so much

Fast forward to next summer when you’re trying to cram your way onto a Clifton beach, sweaty and frustrated as you search for decent towel space.

Then cast your mind back to this article and the hapless British tourists who look more giant ant colony than relaxed holidaymakers. Feel better? Thought so.

As the European holiday season gets into full swing, Brits on tour are flocking to the beaches of southern Spain in droves. 29 million of them, according to the Daily Mail.

Numbers are up 4.2% on last year, and will continue to rise as popular low-cost destination Tunisia is off the cards as a result of recent terror events.

This beach in Benidorm is clearly doing its bit for the Spanish economy.

I’m having an anxiety attack just looking at those umbrellas.

British tourists are notorious for travelling in herds, a notion these images seem to support.
