Riot police in Mallorca clashed with demonstrators taking part in anti-tourism protests after the gatherings turned violent, according to reports. The unrest reflects growing tensions in the Balearic Islands, where residents have repeatedly staged demonstrations against mass tourism, which they blame for driving up housing costs, straining local infrastructure and eroding quality of life for permanent residents.

Officers were deployed with shields to manage the crowds as scenes escalated during the protest action. The article does not provide further specific details, such as the number of people involved, arrests made, or injuries sustained, but the clashes add to a pattern of increasingly confrontational anti-tourism activism seen across Spain's holiday destinations in recent years.
