Thousands of people marched in Spain's Balearic Islands against mass tourism ahead of the summer season. 

Holding posters reading ‘SOS Residents, Enough Mass Tourism’, protesters marched through Palma de Mallorca, the capital of the largest Balearic Island, with a smaller protest also held in Menorca. 

Similar demonstrations have also recently taken place in the Canary Islands. 

Would it put you off travelling there?  

Andrea hears from listeners, business owners in the area and Eoghan Corry, Editor of Air and Travel Magazine.
