Weather warnings have been issued for several popular Spanish tourist destinations.
UK holidaymakers preparing to jet off for a spring break may be disappointed as Spain’s national forecaster, AEMET, has issued Status Yellow and Status Orange alerts for much of Spain’s south coast and Canary Islands. The warning is in force across hotspots such as Marbella, Malaga, Almeria, Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
The alerts have been in place since Monday and warn tourists holidaying in affected regions to take extra care as strong winds and powerful waves are expected. The warning is in force until Thursday and tourists are urged to continue to follow the advice of local authorities - as The Irish Mirror reports.

It follows weeks of extreme weather in Spain, which has seen flooding, gale force winds and even dust storms. Meanwhile, Liverpool has been basking in the spring sunshine this week with clear skies dominating the conditions.
However, temperatures are set to plummet over the coming days as the Met Office expects wintry showers to arrive. The forecasting agency predict there to be outbreaks of rain in the region today with a maximum temperature of 8C.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Neil Armstrong said: “We’re going to be seeing a marked shift in the weather for the UK in the coming week as the warm weather is displaced south.
“Temperatures will drop as cold air sweeps south with single figure maxima for most places from mid-week, and bringing with it the unsettled weather that we’ll see for much of the week. Some clear spells are still around later in the week, with the best of any sunshine likely to be in the south later in the week.”
