If they say yes
It comes after a survey of 2,000 adults found 61% admit they struggle to be spontaneous.
Yet 41% believe saying "yes" more leads to breaking free from routine and monotony while 64% think the best memories come from impromptu decisions.
A spokesperson for San Miguel, which collaborated with Mixmag to create the event, trip and research, said: 'The adult population would love to live more like the Spanish, embracing spontaneity, sun and connection.
'This is our invitation to dare to do that: to break free from the everyday, say 'sí' to new adventures, and prove that a Spanish summer feeling can be found anywhere – even on a Thursday night in Hackney Wick.'
Top 10 spontaneous activities Brits would try
Booking a last-minute trip.
Spending a day exploring a new area with no set plan.
Saying yes to a social event with little notice.
Going on an unplanned road trip.
Changing my usual routine for a day.
Making an impulse purchase for fun.
Going out for a meal with no idea where I'll end up.
Taking a day off just to do something spontaneous.
Spontaneously visiting a friend or family member.
Saying yes to an adventure even if it scares me.
The study also found 62% wish they were freer and easier in their daily lives.
But 47% tend to overthink decisions, while financial concerns (44%) and fear of the unknown (42%) also prevent them from being more spontaneous.
For 49%, an encouraging friend or partner would help motivate them to be more impulsive, while 42% think the idea of making life more exciting would prompt them to step out their comfort zone.

Meanwhile, 54% claim their happiness would increase "a lot" if they approached summer in a more Spanish way.
For those not going to
A spokesperson for the beer brand added: 'Fly San Miguel isn't just a party – it's a mindset, a gateway to possibility.

'This summer, we're bringing that Spanish feeling to every corner of the UK.'

Ditch Cornwall for my seaside county this summer – we get less rain, an earlier sunrise… and we actually want tourists
EVERYONE might be heading to Cornwall this summer for their summer staycation - but my English county is a much better option. Born and raised in Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk, my teenage summers were spent eating chips on the quay and hosting beach parties with my friends. 12 My home county is a much better option that Cornwall Credit: Alamy 12 I remember running down to the beach after school to catch the sunset I've since travelled the world, from Iceland to California, yet nothing compares to the sunsets I've seen from my bedroom window in Norfolk. Not only does it get less rain than Cornwall (which is actually one of the UK's wettest regions) but we get a much earlier sunrise and we want tourists to visit. The vast open space makes our skies clear and full of stars, and I've even caught a glimpse of the From discovering secluded beaches to trying just about every fish and chip shop along the coast, I've put together the perfect guide to my home county to show you why Norfolk is the best place to spend your summer in the UK.

It's the only spot on the East coast that faces West, so it's the perfect place to park up and watch the sun dipping into the sea.
