Spanish destinations high on new Ryanair list

A number of Spanish destinations feature on a list of new flights being launched by Ryanair.

The budget carrier has announced the establishment of 14 new routes from Leeds-Bradford airport, which along with three existing ones will see the Yorkshire location established as a new base for its operations in March next year.

In addition to serving current destinations Barcelona and Alicante, Ryanair will fly to Ibiza, Malaga, Murcia and Palma.

Spokesman Michael O'Leary said the new services would offer "exciting destinations all over Europe including France, Italy and Spain".

The development means those living in Yorkshire and other parts of northern England will have more access to Spain, which could encourage those looking to buy Spanish property in the country.

People who move there are more likely than any other non-nationals to find their local councillor is British, according to new Spanish government figures.

These showed that 37 of the 85 foreigners serving on local authorities are British.
