Bof! A post-Brexit guide to holidaying in the EU

Millions of Brits will soon be heading for the sunspots of Europe as usual – but after the vote to leave, hasn’t everything changed? Plus: how to say ‘I am Scottish’ in Greek and a guide to squeezing the most out of your sterling If there’s one way in which Brits connect with Europe, it’s when we pack our bags and go on holiday. As we fret about what the future (and indeed, the rest of today) holds for all of us in a post-Brexit world, in practice Europe continues to mean the annual summer break. The Costas and the Algarve, the French countryside and the Greek islands, the smell of suntan lotion, a cold beer, a warm sea, a pungent cheese, and the insatiable British desire for a week of uninterrupted sunshine. Except the climate is a lot less predictable now. The millions of British holidaymakers heading to Europe as usual this summer face a continent in which their passport remains valid, but everything has changed. What can they expect? Espressos costing an arm and a leg now the pound has dropped to a 30-year low? Paranoid expats in Spain, sympathy in Greece, pity in Germany, antipathy in France, and the kind of blamey atmosphere that doesn’t quite scream relaxing holiday in the sun? Or perhaps going and talking to Europeans, contributing to local economies and taking a break from our own news is the best remedy for the Brexit limbo casting a shadow over this island.
