Brit in Spain orders full English breakfast and is amazed by the price
A British expat living in Tenerife shared a video of his full English breakfast at a seafront cafe in Los Cristianos - and was amazed by the price of the meal Tenerife, the largest among the Canary Islands, has long been a hotspot for Brits craving sun-soaked holidays by the sea. With British holidaymakers making up over 40% of all international visitors last year, it's no surprise there are worries about increasing costs on this cherished isle. In a move to address growing concerns of overtourism and protect its natural treasures, Tenerife will introduce an 'eco tax' starting next year for those wanting to admire the view from Mount Teide, Spain's tallest mountain located on the island. Amidst these price hikes, a British expat who works in a travel firm and shares updates on TikTok, has observed tourists grumbling about dearer food and drink as living expenses surge. Nonetheless, this local travel expert experiences things differently, specifically highlighting the incredible value he discovered for a full English breakfast in Los Cristianos' LA TASCA 7. For just €4.60 [£3.90], his substantial meal comprised two bacon rashers, a duo of sausages, double toast, a tomato, and twin fried eggs – minus baked beans due to personal preference. The sizeable feast, served on a "big plate" complete with HP sauce and enjoyed against the backdrop of the ocean, came at what he hailed an unbelievable bargain. He exclaimed: "That's the price of one pint in the UK and I've got a full English breakfast, in the sun, for [the same price]." In his post, he mused: "How do they even make money selling it this cheap?". Eager commenters chimed in with their experiences of Tenerife's inexpensive culinary delights. One replied: "Prices are good in Tenerife. I can't see how people say it's dear... You can find a pint for €1.50 [£1.26] and a breakfast for €3 [£2.52]... and we absolutely love it." Someone else shared their own pleasant memories: "We went there after the markets and it was so nice! Nice spot to people watch, enjoy the view, and was super cheap compared to most other places." Yet another person observed: "Not bad the price, over here you can't get it for under 8 euros and it's not even that decent." Caution, the video below contains some strong language. The consensus wasn't unanimous though. One detractor noted: "It used to be cheap for Brits. Not anymore," while someone else mentioned: "It's not like that in all of Spain, in Tenerife the taxes are way lower then the rest of Spain, don't expect those prices everywhere." Meanwhile, the choice of an English breakfast abroad sparked some banter among users. One teased: "You in Tenerife and eating English breakfast? You okay?", as another showed amusement at the dining decision: "It always baffles me why people go to an exotic country to order an English breakfast." The lack of beans on his plate also caught attention. "Can't trust no one that don't like beans that's diabolical," quipped a commenter.

The seaside town re-inventing itself with a floating hotel and delicious food scene
The seaside town re-inventing itself with a floating hotel and delicious food scene It's becoming somewhere truly special and worth visiting just for the amazing food available Aberdaugleddau or Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire One synonymous with heavy industry and commercial docks, Milford Haven is now making quiet but confident waves as one of Wales' most exciting destinations for tourism. Dominating the estuary, this historic harbour town has had a striking transformation thanks to a multi-million-pound regeneration project that has turned its waterfront into a bustling hub of food, fun and on-the-water living. At the heart of the revival is Milford Waterfront, a stylishly redeveloped marina that's fast earning a name for itself - and is becoming somewhere worth travelling to in its own right. Think independent bars, locally owned shops, gallery spaces, and an increasingly sophisticated dining scene that's starting to rival Tenby in both quality and character. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here Fresh data from Independent Cottages has also just revealed that it has just been named one of the five most popular places for Brits to visit this summer. A standout addition to the town is the Ty Milford Waterfront Hotel, part of the Celtic Collection which also run the five-star Celtic Manor Resort. Book a unique coastal stay in four floating cabins among the boats moored at Milford Marina (Image: Portia Jones ) This modern stay by the water offers some stunning harbour views and a smart brasserie-style restaurant, but it's the hotel's quirky 'floatel cabins' that have caught the most attention. These on-water rooms, bobbing gently beside fishing boats and sailing yachts, offer a serene stay where guests can wake up to sea breezes and feel truly part of the scenery. Inside the hotel, the popular restaurant, Dulse, does dishes to die for, offering people an authentic taste of the local sourced seafood in a stunning setting with views right across the marina. Housed inside the Tŷ Hotel Milford Waterfront, Dulse is one of the best places in Pembs for delicious seafood (Image: Portia Jones ) The hotel seems to be a core symbol of what Milford Haven has to offer right now, as our lifestyle editor Kathryn Williams also recently found out, noting: "Since talking about visiting there I've been met with some puzzled expressions but I've been able to bat them off by telling them about the trip I took there this year. "Over the summer I stayed in Milford for two nights and was impressed by what was on offer right on the doorstep of the harbour. Thanks to an invite from Ty Milford, where we stayed for one night, myself and my partner also tried the floatel. "Now, many might - and have to me - say that 'Milford is great as a base to explore that end of Pembrokeshire' and it certainly is. "You are in an arm's length of Dale, St Anne's Head out to the west and if you go south you'll stumble across Freshwater East, Barafundle. "But I would argue that there's nothing stopping you staying in Milford Waterfront and utilising what it has to offer." You can read the full piece here. Staying at Ty Milford, Kathryn noted that the entire stay was a 2024 summer highlight, writing: 'Yes, it is a great place to base yourself to get around Pembrokeshire, but equally it's worth checking out what's on at the Waterfront as there's lots to explore.' (Image: KathrynWilliams ) Elsewhere, the foodie scene is continuing to grow. COCO's Restaurant, perched right on the waterfront, is a favourite for its Mediterranean-inspired plates, with Mad Hatter's Café offering some super creative brunches and indulgent bakes which are well worth trying out. For fresh seafood and local produce with a modern twist, The Harbourmaster delivers dependable seasonal dishes in a smart-casual setting, as well as offering an extensive wine and cocktail menu - perfect for a relaxed evening soaking in the area in style. Martha's Vineyard, family-run bar and restaurant is also a stunning option if you're looking for a proper maritime vibe serving fresh fish, great meats and quality ingredients as well as a daily specials board. And for a morning treat, Sugar Loaf Deli & Bakery is the perfect spot to start your day off, also located on the waterfront. They are known for serving the best in rustic baked goods, homemade deli products, and a range of teas and coffees. From cosy cafes and seafood-focused bistros to brunch spots with serious Instagram appeal, Milford Haven is quietly establishing itself as a go-to for food lovers seeking something a little more low-key than the busy, more widely known hotspots in Pembrokeshire. Visiting the marina, our travel-loving journalist Portia Jones also noted: 'History and heritage are also thoughtfully displayed through walking trails and the volunteer-run Milford Haven Museum. 'The museum tells the story of Milford Haven and its proud maritime heritage. Inside, you can explore the exhibits and collections covering the Nantucket Quaker Whalers, the fishing industry, and the nautical town's crucial role in supporting the world's energy demands. 'Wander further along the waterfront, and you'll find boutique shopping, cafes, seafood restaurants and even a chocolate shop.' All of this, and you're also just a 20 minute drive from two of Pembrokeshire's lesser-known, secret beaches including St Brides Haven and Musselwick. Musselwick (Image: Musselwick ) The cliffs at Musselwick are completely jaw-dropping, and make you feel like you've stepped onto your own little private island. It's located not far from the tiny village of Marloes - but this is definitely not a commercialised spot so with no parking, your best bet would be to leave the car up here and walk along the nearest footpath. Despite being a little more out of the way, this hidden gem beach looks like paradise with plenty of sand and crystal clear blue waters to enjoy. St Brides Haven is also an underrated Pembrokeshire spot, and is a more pebbly beach than Musselwick which reveals sand at low tide, but it is arguably just as private. St Brides Haven beach (Image: Kathryn Williams ) The coast between Mill Haven beach and St Bride's also makes for great clifftop walking, meaning you can see right across St Bride's Bay to St David's Head and Ramsey. Article continues below And if you don't have access to a car and want to explore this incredible part fo Wales, you might be glad to hear that two popular bus services are returning to the Pembrokeshire coastline this year according to Pembrokeshire County Council, including: The Puffin Shuttle (service 400, operated by Richards Bros) running between St Davids and Marloes, via Little Haven, Druidston, St Brides and Martins Haven (for boat trips to Skomer Island). The Strumble Shuttle (service 404, operated by Richards Bros) running via the coast road between St Davids and Fishguard, including Abereiddy (for the Blue Lagoon), Porthgain, and Strumble Head.

Underrated EU island welcoming Brits where tourism backlash doesn't exist
Deterred by escalating anti-tourist sentiment in Spain? Don't worry, this beautiful EU island offers equally stunning beaches, history and architecture - all without the threat of angry protestors Avoid the angry protestors on this stunning European island just over three hours from the UK. For decades, sun-worshipping Brits have been flocking to sunny Spain - partying in the hectic regions of Magaluf and Benidorm, or chilling out in the more laid-back coastal gems stretching across the Costa del Sol. Lured in by golden sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, cheap booze and stunning history, the country has watched its tourism rapidly boom. Last year, Spain and its slew of insatiably popular islands, witnessed a record-breaking 94 million international visitors - a 10 per cent spike from the year before. However, the influx sparked backlash amongst locals, who argue the skyrocketing demand for short-term holiday lets has priced them out of the property market. 2024 witnessed a string of protests erupt across the country, with banner-holding residents demanding Brits 'go home' and never return. This anti-tourist rhetoric has spiralled in recent years, with fresh vows of demonstrations to take place during the insufferably busy summer. If you've been put off by the clashing protests, Joanne Lynn, a European travel expert over at Riviera Travel, recommends visiting Malta instead. Situated in the central Mediterranean between Sicily and the North African coast - Malta may only span some 122 square miles, but it certainly packs a powerful punch. Here, you'll find a UNESCO city dripping in history, ancient ruins, stunning architecture and pristine beaches. Highlights include the 'Blue Grotto' - a network of six sea caves that has been branded the perfect dupe of Italy's Amalfi Coast - and the Saluting Battery ceremony in the capital, where a restored canon is fired Monday through Sunday twice a day. Speaking exclusively with the Mirror, Joanne explained how the country has 'largely avoided' this kind of tension thanks to the island's more 'measured approach to tourism and strong emphasis on maintaining local culture'. "While the island can certainly get busy, particularly around popular beach areas during peak season, it has not experienced the same degree of backlash or protest seen in places like Barcelona," she said. "Crucially, Malta hasn't faced the same pressures on housing markets or local infrastructure, which has helped preserve a generally positive relationship between residents and visitors." Last year, Malta welcomed 3.6 million tourists - almost 20 per cent more compared to 2023. But despite its growing popularity, Joanne says travellers can still enjoy a 'fulfilling experience without the added concern of tourism-related unrest'. "Overall, Malta's combination of high-quality restaurants, museums, historical tourist attractions and quiet towns makes it a great choice for anyone looking to avoid demonstrations across Europe, while still being able to experience a wonderful summer trip abroad," she added. Of course, this is not to say that everyone on the islands loves the sudden influx of Brits. Certain areas, such as Comino - a small island of the Maltese archipelago, have become super crowded in the busy summer months. Back in 2022, a local group named Movimenti Graffiti stripped the area of its deckchairs and sun beds to make it clear that Comino should be protected 'not plundered'. You can fly directly to Malta from most major UK airports, including Glasgow, Belfast, Liverpool, and London Stansted, with flights taking an average of three hours and 15 minutes. If you're flexible with dates, you can grab return fares for as little as £50 in June. Accommodation on the island is equally affordable, with a slew of no-thrill hotels, hostels, and apartments available. For example, a week's stay (Monday, June 9-16) at The Rose Hostel in St Julian's will set you back £349. This is based on two adults staying in a seven-bed mixed dorm. However, if you want a more luxurious trip - check out Grand Hotel Excelsior. Located in Valetta, this stunning resort boasts a large outdoor and indoor pool, a private beach, spa, and three restaurants. You can splurge out on the Superior Deluxe Double Room with a sea view for £1,659 on the exact same dates.
