Description
The narrow streets of Binibeca Vell, a small Menorcan village nestling in a cove of turquoise waters, are visited by almost 800,000 tourists every year, much to the dismay of residents who feel overwhelmed by the photo-hungry visitors. Local authorities have resorted to putting up signs requesting that tourists "visit us quietly, respect visiting hours and keep the town clean" as a way of tackling the problem. "We want tourists to come, but there are tourists who don't come with respect" says Juan Quintana, a restaurant owner. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
