It is a love affair which shows no sign of going away. In 2023 an estimated 43 million passengers travelled between Spain and the United Kingdom. Roughly speaking that is 63 percent of the whole British population or 90 percent of the total Spanish population.
63 percent of British population travel to Spain in 12 months!

The figures are inaccurate because many people fly multiple times in a year, multiple families, property owners. So the figures are correct but it is not 63 per cent as in individual people making it percentage of a population.
Is this an effort by MDB to emphasis how important they believe the British are to Spain?
Morgan WilliamsTurkey has NOT joined the EU.
Just another misleading and erroneous set of meaningless figures.
Misleading headline, yes, but if you read the first paragraph, it doesn't state that they were all British nor that they were unique visitors. Many will be Spaniards visiting Britain and, probably even more, will be British travelling to and from Spain to the U.K multiple times. Also, this whole of Spain, not just Mallorca.
Is this like the 70 million Turks that invaded the UK after Turkey joined the EU?
Extraordinary numbers.
