Recent developments indicate a growing tension between UK tourists and local populations in various Spanish destinations. Majorca, Menorca, and Ibiza, along with the Canary Islands, have seen significant local backlash against the effects of mass tourism. In response, local authorities and residents are pushing for stricter regulations, including potential bans and quotas on UK tourists, with fines reaching up to £51,000 for violations. The Spanish government has also introduced a new border rule, which many UK tourists are reportedly unaware of. Additionally, the British Foreign Office has issued multiple warnings to UK tourists traveling to Spain, citing both the social unrest and a severe health risk from a virus with a 40% mortality rate.
