The ugly American

is a common phrase or concept.

I maintain that for sheer unattractiveness no one can exceed the Briton vacationing in Barcelona. On Las Ramblas it is such a sight, the pasty white belly now turned lobster red from the sun. Glowing red face that will surely blister tomorrow. Drunk at 2:30 PM.

My apologies to Britons who control their drinking and who realize that the sun is the enemy of pale faces.

Las Ramblas is a fun street, lots of eating places, street entertainers, tourists to amuse. And the Brits are the most amusing of the lot.
