SPANISH protesters held up a sightseeing bus in Palma de Majorca ahead of a major anti-tourism demonstration tomorrow.

The group said the popular Spanish island is overwhelmed by tourists and driven by profit over local needs.

Campaigners from ‘Menys Turisme, Més Vida’ (Less Tourism, More Life) staged the protest in the Majorcan capital city of Palma.

They halted the bus, climbing onto it and unfurling a banner calling for an end to mass tourism.

In a video shared on social media, the group said it was “tired” of the current system and “ready to break the tourism status quo”.

It says urgent change is needed to put locals’ well-being ahead over the interests of the tourism industry.
