Spaniards aren't visiting Britain to appreciate the culture and history so why are you surprised brits aren't visiting Spain for such? The transaction is Brits have money, Spain happens to be a little closer to the equator. Spain has happily cashed in on that. And places like Tenerife resorts are soulless. Just high-rise hotel upon hotel, no character. What's there to appreciate? I visited Tenerife on a geological fieldtrip to Teide. Depressing place. I am not surprised it attracts these kinds of unfavourable characters. Maybe the demographic of German Tenerife receives is better than the demographic of Brits, because higher class brits are not going to Tenerife in the first place, lmao.

Fact is that it’s not about drunken Brits the resentment is that rich Northern Europeans are block renting large swathes of available properties, out pricing many of the the locals. I go to Tenerife regularly and I see it all the time. its normal to see all European nations working on laptops in local bars, for hours on end, drinking only one coffee using the Wi-Fi, yet getting paid big bucks from back home. No wonder the posters say “ Tourist go home” not “Brits go home” In fact the bars and restaurants rely on people who spend and go not sit and stay with a bottle of water for two three hours, then go, having overstayed their welcome.

I was in Tenerife last year for the first time. I spoke to the Baywatch of the hotel/apartments I stayed. A guy from Cuba who had been in Spain for several years. He said the brits were the worst clients at the hotel/apartments. Because they misbehave the most, the most unruly and unlawful in terms of following the rules of the hotel/apartments.

wrong. if you go to the 'resorts' then everyone is treated that way. i have been going to spain for 20 years, but go to a small fishing town where hardly anyone speaks english (and i dont speak spannish much) and its a fantastic place. literally every year and its always fantastic................and not a fried breakfast or kareoke or irish bar in sight. we normally go for a day to benidorm (or similar) to laugh at the twats on tour. its a total joke lol. funny thing is that is always way more expensive than where we go too.

That is a bad rap, most Brits are respectful and our money keeps their country afloat.

[@dave4803]

@@lindacurrie8817 Oh please, it is only the Spanish that have a problem with us. They've always sucked up to the German's and that's because they tip more than us. But we pump more money into their country during our stays and as a rule are better behaved than most. So don't say it isn't about money. If they want to play it that way then fine, Spain is over priced, dirty and overhyped for what it is. You can have a nicer holiday for less money and less lip. Greece for example has nicer food, better prices, better beer, more polite people and a rich history. Plus the beaches are cleaner and you still get to enjoy the sun. So if they want it that way then fine, we'll take our money elsewhere.

[@justinneill5003]

It’s not just about the Canaries and it’s not just about tourists, the problem goes way deeper than that. It’s about our own society that produces people who are like that. We have been cited as the most socially divided country in Europe, with a relatively deprived “underclass” that is educationally and aspirationally disadvantaged. It is a cyclic legacy of the old class system which is perpetuated by those at the other end of the food chain, who benefit from it.

[@capitalm1257]

Except it is not underclass only

[@justinneill5003]

@@capitalm1257 Agreed, not exclusively; but the image and type of behaviour we are talking about here is largely the result of a background and upbringing lacking in certain basic values, social responsibility and self awareness both at home and in the classroom. It is also fuelled by alcohol which again leads back to the same root cause; many Brits drink excessively as part of a culture where it is considered essential to enjoyment, which stems from a lifestyle in which it provides an instant release from a routine that often offers them little else. And the children of this group will be born into the same situation, and so on. It's an extremely difficult cycle to break especially when it is so well established in our society and is also highly sensitive as it begins with the home environment people are born into.
