Menorcan village threatens to close to tourists after explosion in numbers

Binibeca Vell residents say officials have left them to grapple alone with noise and rubbish from stampede of visitors

Perched over a small bay, the village of Binibeca Vell on the Spanish island of Menorca has long been a magnet for tourists looking to wander along its winding, narrow lanes lined with whitewashed villas.

But as its popularity swells on social media, setting off a stampede for selfies snapped along its cobblestone streets, residents are threatening to stop access to the village all together.
