A new report by Braintrust has warned of the high seasonality of Spanish sun and beach destinations, such as Mallorca and the Balearics, as they account for 69.8% of spending between July and September, far ahead of other types of tourism such as culture, shopping, sport and gastronomy. The consultancy firm points out that this model, “without ceasing to be important because of its weight”, makes activity precarious and prevents the deseasonalisation that “is so detrimental to some mature destinations, not only in Spain, but worldwide”.

BUT when there are changes to the weather. The Buses are full with Tourists going to Palma shopping. Because there is very little to do when they can not sun bathe on the Beaches.
Well they shouldn't ban geckos either. They're rather harmless creatures that help keep the insect population in check.
Currently on holiday in Crete Taxi drivers,bar/resturant owners shop workers are all laughing and saying thank you to the protests They do say that those protesting probably are not employed in the tourist trade and mummy and daddy finance them
