Last month, protesters took to the streets of the Majorcan capital, Palma , with placards and signs as part of ongoing demonstrations to oppose mass tourism in the Balearic Islands. Locals have become increasingly vocal about the number of holidaymakers , with one resident, Jaume Fuster, 27, a hotel worker who didn't attend the demonstration, opening up about his own frustrations to The Guardian.

He said: "They should be a wake-up call to our politicians to legislate against the overcrowding and bring in laws that improve the quality of life of us residents." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
