Must read

A recent spate of anti-tourist protests have taken hold in Majorca, and news has just gotten worse for holidaying Brits.

The island of Majorca is continuing to fight its image crisis after thousands of locals took to the streets in an effort to deter an invasion of hell-raising holidaymakers this summer. Now, the party destination has now also been crowned “cheat capital” of Europe this week in a poll from married dating website Illicitencouters.com.




New research released has revealed UK holiday-goers consider Magaluf the best destination for a cheeky holiday fling.
