Spain Tourist figures down

Spain says the number of tourists visiting the country dropped in April coinciding with flight disruptions caused by an ash cloud released by an Icelandic volcano.
Tourism Ministry arrival figures released Friday show 3.9 million visitors landed in Spain that month, a 13.3 percent year-on-year drop.
The volcano in southern Iceland erupted for the first time in almost 200 years in late March, casting a plume of ash containing concentrations of potentially damaging silicates into much of western Europe's airspace, affecting many flight paths in April.
Routes from Britain and Germany, key tourism sources, were hard hit with British intake down 28 percent while German arrivals dropped 20 percent.
