Protest warning for Brits heading to Spanish islands this May half term

British holidaymakers heading to the Balearic Islands this half term could face disruption as anti-tourism protests are set to take place in two popular locations. It follows similar demonstrations which were held in the Canary Islands in April.

Then on May 25, which coincides with the start of May half term for many schools across the UK, protestors are expected to take to the streets in Palma, Majorca’s capital. The organisers said: “On the 25th of May we have to take to the streets.“To say ENOUGH to tourist overcrowding, to say ENOUGH to the destruction of the territory, to say ENOUGH to the lack of protection suffered by the people who live on the islands.

The protests come amid rising concerns across popular Spanish holiday destinations over the negative impact of tourism. On April 20 protests took place across the Canary Islands, which include Tenerife and Lanzarote, calling for changes to be made to the tourism model.
