Holidaymakers are cowering in hotels as anti-tourism storm the streets of the Canary Islands, as fed up locals disrupt sunshine bliss for thousands of Brits abroad.
Thousands of fed-up locals kicked off demonstrations across the archipelago from 11am, including in Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Ela Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, and Lanzarote.
Dozens of armed officers from the National Police were seen on patrol, as protesters were heard blowing through enormous shells to make a loud horn-like noise, while banging on drums.
They marched with the slogan 'Canarias tiene un limite' (The Canaries has a limit, while slogan were chanted such as: 'El dinero del turismo, donde está?', meaning 'The money from tourism, where is it?'
Demonstrates have also taken to the streets in Barcelona, Valencia as well as Madrid, as tensions towards tourists have continued to rise over the last year.
