Mallorca: Fake 'beach closed' signs installed to keep tourists away from popular spots

Activists in Mallorca have put up fake signs on popular beaches to discourage English-speaking tourists, warning of jellyfish and falling rocks. However, the messages in Catalan underneath clarify that there is no actual danger.
The signs include misleading information such as claiming a few meters away beach is a three-hour walk and stating that the beach is open but not for jellyfish or foreigners.
The unofficial signs are part of a protest by an anti-capitalist group called Manacor Caterva, aimed at addressing overcrowding and mass tourism on the beaches in Mallorca.
