It is true that the Spanish do not holiday in their own country in the same way that most Euopeans do within Spain and the Canary Islands. For Spaniards, a trip away from home in their own country as a holiday is a trip to a friend or relative for a few days.

Even though the South East Coastal regions of Spain stay warm all year round, the Spanish don’t care for hanging out around the tourist resorts much like the Brits in general are not that eager to spend their main holidays hanging out along the East Coast of the UK.

Yet the number of Spanish holidaying in Tenerife is on the increase even though the Department of Tourist Investigation of the Tenerife Tourism Board announced that October was down by 6.9% on last year for total visitors to the Island. The ten months up to October had shown a 1.38% overall increase to 4,443,426 tourists in 2008.
