The United Kingdom continues to be the main source of visitors to Spain, accounting for a quarter of the total. Between January and November, 14.3 million Britons came to Spain, a rise of nearly 5% on the same period last year.

French, Italian and Belgian visitors saw the greatest rise, each increasing by more than 10%.

Only Russia saw falls, with a 9.7% reduction in visitors between January and November.

The final figure for 2014 is expected to be in the region of 65 million visitors.
