British holidaymakers in Benidorm this summer face having to leave the beach at lunchtime. The resort’s mayor Toni Perez said its two main beaches would be cleared between morning and afternoon sessions so the number of sunseekers could be controlled.
He also said its beaches would remain closed on Monday, and stay closed until mid-June at the earliest, despite being given the go-ahead to re-open by the Spanish government.
Mr Perez said foreign tourists able to holiday in Benidorm could rest easy because its beaches would be open by the time a Madrid-imposed holidaymakers’ quarantine was lifted at the start of July.
