The British media has descended on Mallorca to cover this weekend’s beach protest against mass tourism and foreign tourists in Mallorca may get a bit of a shock tomorrow when thousands of local residents have been called on to storm the beaches a part of the ongoing protest against the lack of sensible tourism policies to tackle the impact of mass tourism on the island.

That's the solution! Just make a law that anyone on the beach must have a pink flamingo lilo. That way, they'll all be protesting, and then everybody happy.
Funnily enough, I saw a very large cruiser (German flag) with several pink flamingo inflatables out the other day. Gut feeling but i don’t think they were protesting about tourism but in fairness they were very much on trend!
I thought Spain designated Mallorca as a tourist destination. The locals that use the beach do not spend money as they are not tourists (which I get). What about businesses who rely on tourism ? hmmm....
