Tensions are rising as UK tourists in Tenerife, particularly those sporting 'flip flops', come under fire. Opera star Ainhoa Arteta has spoken out amidst protests against British holidaymakers by locals.
"And it's a shame because we have truly talented singers. If this country exploited its cultural-historical patrimony and accompanied it in all our theatres and auditoriums with ambitious programmes, we would attract cultural and not flip-flop tourism."Ms Arteta said: "The Ministry of Tourism and Culture should act together and we should be conscious there's culture around the country, not just in two cities.
The Guardia Civil clarified: "It is not specifically forbidden to drive with flip-flops, but you can be penalised for not being able to maintain freedom of movement to control the pedals well." For several months now, there have been growing calls for a more discerning classification of tourist in Tenerife, BirminghamLive reported.
