British tourists have been branded a “plague” in Spain as local residents complain cities stink of beer as early as 11am.
Malaga lawyer Luis Navarrete took to social media to slam Britons for turning a once traditional cafe into “John Scotts”.
He wrote: “Our central cafe is now called John Scotts and at 11am it stinks of foreigners and pints of beer.
“They have destroyed our identity, they have prostituted everything they could in our city. This deserves a change.”
In an exclusive poll for GB News membership readers, 59 per cent of the 208 voters thought Spain is right to brand UK tourists a 'plague' and limit holidaymakers while 39 per cent thought Spain are wrong. Two per cent said they did not know.
Malaga is witnessing a surge in anti-tourist sentiment.
A “historic” protest is taking place in the centre of Malaga at 11.30am this morning.
Protesters have been urged to congregate on Plaza de la Merced.
Demonstrators are expected to wield banners and chant anti-tourism slogans.
