Spaniards have had enough of British tourists and came up with a plan to discourage their presence. Enraged Spanish locals are no longer tolerating British tourists appropriating their sandy domains. As a response, they’ve erected counterfeit notices cautioning seaside visitors about lurking jellyfish and potential rockfalls, all in an effort to discourage their presence.

Certain deceitful signs stationed proximate to Majorca’s shorelines display messages such as “exercise caution around hazardous jellyfish,” while others indicate perilous rock formations in the vicinity. One misleading placard even alleges a nearly three-hour trek to reach a beach, when in reality, it’s a mere 100 yards away.

The spurious posters frequently incorporate fine print inscribed in Catalan, a linguistic subtlety that exposes the lack of authenticity to those familiar with the language. One of these inscriptions clarifies:

“Beach accessible. Neither jellyfish nor foreigners permitted.” Another communicates: “Enter at your own risk. The danger isn’t a landslide; it’s excessive crowding.”

These fraudulent indicators are the brainchild of Caterva, a protest collective championing an anti-capitalist stance.

Each year, in excess of 2.3 million British vacationers descend upon Majorca, with the mean guest expending £950 during their stay. Despite this influx, tourism administrators voice their exasperation with the mounting overpopulation.
