A warning has been issued to UK tourists planning to travel to a popular Spanish tourist destination.
The Spanish government fully lifted coronavirus travel restrictions for people entering the country in June. The country experienced a boom in visitors looking to enjoy summer sunshine.
However, the surge in tourism prompted protests from residents in Majorca, who complained over the rowdy behaviour of people visiting the paradise island. The president of the council of Majorca has admitted there was "overcrowding in the summer" and announced plans to limit hotel beds.

According to Majorca Daily Bulletin, Catalina Cladera said: "We want tourism of greater value and less volume and the new tourism law marks the roadmap with the moratorium and the blocking of new beds”, she said and admitted that after the economic recovery after the pandemic “the recurring debate about overcrowding is back.
"I won’t deny it, there has been overcrowding this summer. However, only in some places and at certain times.” The proposals would limit tourist beds across the islands at 430,000.
A law approved by the Balearic Government in May required the number of beds to be reduced over a maximum period of four years.
