A five-foot tsunami has hit tourist beaches in parts of Majorca. No-one was hurt.

A wave measuring almost five feet hit Ciutadella on the west coast of Menorca in the early hours of Monday morning.

Nearby beaches were also flooded by the meteotsunami, called a rissaga in Catalan Spanish, the Daily Mail reports.

These are large, tsunami-like waves are triggered by disturbances in air pressure caused by fast-moving weather events, like thunderstorms.

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