SPAIN IS ~ The preferred Holiday Destination of over 18 million BRITS each Year and not just for the Sun ~ Sand ~ Sea & Sangria but for dozens of other Historical ~ Architectural ~ Cultural ~ Spiritual & Gastronomic Reasons. On balance Brian & I believe she has the greatest Treasures of Art - Architecture - Scenery - Wine & Cuisine of any other Country in Europe ! But then we are very biased. Even though I was raised in England - My father is Spanish and I always spent my Summer Holidays - with my Spanish Family in Sevilla. Brian has studied Spanish & Spain since he was TEN and His Spanishness convinced Mi Padre that he would be a suitable MARIDO for Me ~ Angela Maria de la Plata ~ AMEN ! The video gives a glimpse of some of the Beautiful Places in Spain you can visit in addition to the Costa del Sol !
SPAIN ~ The Perfect Holiday destination
Almost any time of the Year. Because of
Excellent Hotels and Weather. So much so
That THOUSANDS of Brits have purchased
Beautiful Holiday Homes and many have
Also retired to live in Spain & its Islands !
WHY ? Because the Spanish Cuisine suits
The British Palette and Spanish Beers like
San Miguel are very popular in the UK ~
As are Spanish Wines like Rioja and the
Sparkling Cava is in our opinion ~ Superior
to Champagne (France) & Prosecco (Italy)
Most of You will have visited Spain often
So you will know what I am talking about !
When the COVID 19 travel ban was lifted
The main European Country Brits headed
Back to was Spain. Brian & I had booked
Our April Honeymoon in Sevilla but had to
Settle for Romantic Cambridge instead !
The main reason we are posting this POEM
Is not primarily to *Promote Spanish Tourism*
But to ask you all to Support & Pray to your
GOD (if you have one) for Spain*s dilemma
At this sad time ! Because there has been a
Big increase in COVID 19 (much greater than UK)
In NW Areas of Spain (not the Spanish Islands)
BORIS has said ~ Returnees must quarantine 2 weeks
TEN % of Spain*s economy is from Tourism
And it was just recovering from the 4 month
Lockdown due to CORVID 19 ~ The UK Gov*t
Had decreed it was SAFE to Holiday in SPAIN !
Then suddenly (without warning) two weeks
Quarantine were required on RETURN ! Not
Everyone (Shop Workers for instance) can
Work from Home ~ So a BUS DRIVER would
Have to lose 2 weeks Holiday or take 2 weeks
Unpaid Leave ~ most cant afford it. So please
Support Spain all those caught in Holiday Dilemma !
Thanks for visit comments welcome Love BRIAN & ANGELA.
