"Wish You Were Here" – From Prawn Cocktail Spain to Infinity Pools - Judith Chalmers

from Spanish Practices – Living in Spain: Real Life, Real Spain · host John Metson

I remember Judith Chalmers and the golden age of Spanish package holidays? In this special edition of Spanish Practices, I take a nostalgic trip from the prawn cocktail resorts of the 1970s to today's luxury infinity pools, boutique hotels and Instagram-ready Spain. From Benidorm and Torremolinos to Mallorca and the Costa del Sol, discover how Spain became Britain's favourite sunshine escape — and why millions still return year after year. An affectionate tribute to the legendary Wish You Were Here presenter Judith Chalmers who introduced generations of families to sunny Spain." RIP
