This comes after a year of broken records that saw every
record in Spain broken time and time again. It looks like 2017 could be another
record-breaking year as airports across Spain are reporting an average increase in tourists of 10%.
The latest data from the Spanish airport operator Aena shows
that all 18 of the busiest terminals in the country registered a year-on-year
increase last month. The largest increase (29.3%) was reported at la Palma,
which was followed by Valencia (19.8% increase) and Malaga-Costa del Sol (18.4)
– the equivalent of 867,382 passengers. The stats for January 20017 showed
there was a total of 7,286 take-offs and landings at the airport, which was an
increase of 15.3%.
As expected, the charge was led by the UK, as 245,421 Brits
entered/left Malaga during January, an increase of 18.3% over January of 2016.
Next were the domestic passengers, followed by the Germans and Dutch tourists,
numbering 62,184 and 54,142 respectively.
Its no wonder that Spain and Malaga area is smashing all records due to the low cost of living, great climate and southern spain represents a great place to visit and live.
