With its Mediterranean weather, endless beaches and varied nightlife, Spain has been a favourite destination for millions of holidaymakers for years. Holidaymakers travelling to Spain should be able to enjoy everything from lazy beach resorts and historical ruins to water sports and wild nightlife, unfortunately many Spanish getaways are ruined by illness.
Spain is home to many popular all-inclusive resorts most of which can claim good standards of safety and hygiene, however there are unfortunate exceptions where cases of poor standards and avoidable holiday illness have been reported.

With reported symptoms including diarrhoea and vomiting, some visitors have reported low standards of hygiene, dirty swimming pools and undercooked food.
