The August ‘puente’ heralds the start of the second half of the main holidaymonth and many coastal resorts are reporting almost 100% hotel occupancy.
The attraction of sun and sand, an abundance of fiestas and the start of the Málaga Feria have drawn people to Andalucia and even the interior areas, which normally suffer during the summer, have seen an upturn in fortunes.
For businesses, August promises to be a good month, a welcome prognosis following a July where sales were below expectations.
