The Red Radio’s Big Red Breakfast’s Daz and Expat presenter Geoff Wood Reveal What British Tourists Need to Know.Just in time for summer holiday bookings, The Big Red Breakfast Show has released a groundbreaking new podcast that exposes the truth behind the so-called “anti-tourism” protests ‘sweeping’ Spain and its islands.
For months, British media have warned that Spanish locals no longer want tourists, with dramatic headlines predicting a hostile summer for holidaymakers. But after speaking to local officials, business owners, and campaigners, Daz and Geoff uncovered a very different story.
Every year, thousands of holidaymakers from Teesside, County Durham, and North Yorkshire flock to Spain. This podcast gives them the real story—not sensationalized headlines.
Thinking of booking Spain this summer? Listen here first.
