Tsunami in Majorca: Andratx hit with mini-tsunami as fierce weather strikes tourist beaches just miles from Love Island villa

A mini-tsunami has hit tourist beaches in parts of Majorca and Menorca.

A wave measuring nearly five feet struck in Ciutadella on the west coast of Menorca early yesterday morning and flooded nearby beaches.

The phenomenon, caused by freak weather conditions, also affected resorts in Majorca, with seawater flooding bars and terraces in Andratx and covering beachside roads.

No injuries were reported as the beaches were largely empty.

Meteotsunamis, or meteorological tsunamis (rissagas in Catalan Spanis) are tsunami-like waves generated when rapid changes in barometric pressure.

The freak weather has hit areas just 40 miles from the Love Island villa in Sant Llorenc.
