It follows Germany , which contributed 787,000 travellers staying in hotels, with 3.8 million overnight stays , with an average of 12 days and a rise of 3.8% in overnight stays.

On the opposite side is that Italy is the only one of these seven , with 752,000 overnight stays recorded 7% less than stay. But Rodriguez framed this fall , which insisted that is lower than that recorded other Spanish destinations , the impact of the crisis which reduced the outputs of Italians abroad by 30%.
