Viva Espana, The British Love Affair with Spain and Bingo

What is it about Spain, the Canary Islands and the British? It has been a love affair for decades starting back in the 1970’s when a flight to Alicante, Spain, would cost you £50 and you could get to Malaga on the Costa del Sol for £60.

Brits also have a love affair with Bingo. Marry the two, Spain and Bingo and you get Bingo Bangas at the House of Illusion in Salou.

The website says: “It's like nothing you have seen before! With live singers, crazy acts, circus performers and pure chaos… it's a mixture of traditional bingo and the biggest party night you have ever been to.” 

Despite the arrival of summer, we await the heatwave predicted by the Met Office or perhaps it passed us by in May. Flaming June turned out to be cold, cool, and cloudy, leaving sun seekers opting to make a dash for the Spanish resorts. 

It is forecast that global airline passengers will increase from 4.41 billion in 2023 to 10 billion in 2040. A large proportion of holidaymakers will be heading for warmer climates in summer and colder climates in winter.  Some will be Bingo Buffs.

I saw that journalism was changing and was a pioneer of hyperlocal news in Wales. In 2017 I started one of the first 24/7 free independent news sites for Wales. Having taken that to a successful business model I was keen for a new challenge. Joining the company is exciting for me especially as it is a new role in Europe. I am keen to establish myself and help others to do the same.
