An expat in Spain has warned UK tourists and holidaymakers over a major mistake they're making in the European Union holiday hotspot. An expat shared advice for anyone living in Spain as more and more Brits quit the UK for a life abroad.

On the YouTube account Casa Moreno, an expat explained there are a few "mistakes" expats commonly make when moving to Spain, and not travelling is one of these. He explained: "Travel as much as you can. One of the best things about Spain is its diverse landscape.

"Even though the whole country is amazing, what you find in the north is completely different to what you're going to find in the south." The expat continued: "[There are] cities that feel completely different. They have unique food and a particular culture.

"The greatest advantage of this is that you can spend time exploring new places and not worry about the problems with travelling across borders that came with the pandemic of 2020." He continued: "Our advice is to embark on short weekend trips and try to cover the whole territory."

He added that travelling to different parts of the country at different times will allow you to "find a whole different Spain". In a separate video, a content creator warned Brits over a common habit they're making and guilty of which is actually rude.

They said making phone calls between the hours of 2pm and 5pm is considered impolite as this is when Spanish people will normally eat, adding: "And if they don't have a nap, they have their resting time. So after they finish eating at 3pm, they might spend two hours lying on the sofa, watching TV or reading a book.

"And it's considered very rude to phone someone or try and make plans or try and do anything between these eating and resting hours."
