Spain has introduced new regulations that could affect some tourists visiting the country for their summer holidays this year. However, a rule change brought in at one of its most popular resorts prompted panic and confusion after it was mistakenly characterised as a “tourist ban”.

Spain attracted a record/whopping 94 million tourists last year, making the Southern European nation famous for its Mediterranean coastline and historic sites one of the most visited countries on earth.
