A BENIDORM hotel chain has announced it will offer its guests 200 euros each if Spain does not win the World Cup.

Magic Costa Blanca says anyone who books a stay in one of its establishments will be entitled to the pay-out if 'La Roja' – or 'The Reds' – fail to take home the coveted trophy from South Africa.

The qualifying hotels are Magic Cristal Park, Magic Fenicia and Magic Villa, all in Benidorm.

Company vice-president, Javier García, says football fans in Spain are 'very pleased' with the team's performance up to now, since 'they have returned the confidence' in Spain which has been largely diluted internationally as a result of the recession.
