Holiday plans hindered as Spain battered by stormy weather ahead of Easter rush

A spell of bad weather is hindering holiday plans for tourists heading to Spain over the next few days. Downpours, high winds and stormy seas have been battering the country.

Destinations including the Canary Islands, mainland Spain and the Balearics have all been hit by adverse conditions in recent days. Expats resident in Benidorm on the Costa Brava said the prolonged period of rain and winds is the worst for more than 20 years, while Majorca has also been hit by bead weather including snow flurries on high ground.

But the good news is conditions are predicted to begin improving in the coming days as a mass influx of British visitors arrives for the Easter period. A polar front will arrive in the region on Friday with a risk of snow down to 700 metres.
