Spain, which is still experiencing her first recession since 1993, has seen a sharp decline in visitors from other European nations, especially the UK. This is largely due to the fall in the value of the British pound compared to the euro.This is particularly devastating because tourism makes up over 10 percent of Spain's Gross Domestic Product.
