Jacqueline Dobson, president of Barrhead Travel, said: “For the first time, Seville has been the number one booked location for us over a week, and it’s no coincidence the UEFA Europa League final takes place the same time. We’ve also seen in a big increase in bookings in the surrounding areas, including Malaga and Faro.

“We’re pleased that we have been able to help hundreds of fans go on the trip of a lifetime and realise their dreams of being in the city where their team will play in a European final.”
