The extraordinary sequence of events occurred at the couple's villa in the municipality of San Jose in the south-west of the island, close to La Maison de Bang Bang, the £6.5m mansion of Kate Middleton 's uncle's Gary Goldsmith.

Demonstrators packed into Weyler Square in the Tenerife capital Santa Cruz, the start point for a march on the Brit-popular holiday island, just before midday with banners including one that said: 'You enjoy we suffer' in English. Others said: 'Where is the money from tourism?' and 'Tourist moratorium now.' They waved Canary Islands' flags and blew vuvuzelas to make a deafening noise.

Rosa Dávila (main) said yesterday that the council is eager to collaborate with activists to'reform what we all see could be improved' within the tourism industry, but that her officials are 'far from those who hold radical positions and we will not know them'. (We can't) destroy a whole economic model that contributes significantly to the GDP and the Canary Islands' manufacturing industry,' she was quoted by Canarian Weekly. The Canary Islands' President, Fernando Clavijo, encouraged anti-tourism protesters to use a 'common sense.' 'We can't do is attack our main source of jobs and wealth because it would be irresponsible,' he said. It comes as members of the 'Canarias se exhausta' (The Canary Islands are exhausted) movement declared that unless work on two new tourist attractions is suspended within ten days, they will go on hunger strike from April 11 (the Canary Islands are unemployed) movement.

Members of the 'Canarias se exhausta' movement informed the Canary government that unless construction on two new tourist attractions is suspended within ten days, the strike will begin on April 11 in Canary. They request that the Canary Islands Executive provide "urgent solutions" rather than "false promises," and not "as a sign of political will" to definitively suspend the activities at the Hotel La Tejita and Cuna del Alma in Puertito de Adeje within ten days, rather than simply "false promises." If we've gotten to this point, it's because we have no other choice and because of the serious mistakes that our bad Government of the Canary Islands is committed,' they wrote in a manifesto.' They've warned that 'the accountability for what could happen' with the hunger strike 'will be the same government that ordered us to take this desperate step.' They're putting our present and our future, as well as those of the new generation, in jeopardy.'

Residents in Tenerife claim to want to attract'better quality' tourists and a ban on what some have condemned as cheap beer-drinking, burger-scoffing Brits, although wall stickers have stated: "Tourists go home." With one person writing on a wall next to a 'Westerns go home' message, there's a growing backlash in the United Kingdom.' As one travel company experienced a 10% rise in reservations over the Easter weekend, rising tensions do not appear to be deterring travelers from new trips, with thousands more bookings for the holiday hotspot. Tenerife locals are staging a crackdown on British and German visitors, who they say are snapping up houses and pushing higher prices.

Residents claim they want to attract more discerning visitors who will enjoy the Canary Islands' history and cuisine more than a predominant influx from the United Kingdom. Despite the area's economy being heavily dependent on tourism, there is an increasing backlash against British holidaymakers in Tenerife and the immediate Canary Islands. Last year, 6.5 million tourists visited Tenerife, an annual increase of 11%, while 16 million visitors visited the Canaries. Over the past days, a slew of new anti-tourism graffiti has sprouted near resorts, with messages proclaiming, "visiters go home" and "too many iris," as well as a disparaging Spanish slang word for foreigners.

Tourists arriving in Tenerife for the Easter holiday have been met with anti-tourist graffiti - as well as a tense reception from locals. Residents of the Canary Islands have declared war and said they are 'fed up' of British tourists who only drink cheap beer, lay in the sun, and eat poor quality food.' They claim that airbnbs are raising the cost of renting and the cost of living, but they are sick of the noise and filth that accompanys holidaymakers. Residents on the Spanish holiday island's first big getaway over Easter, speaking to MailOnline, said, 'enough is enough' as they called for a moratorium on the industry, as well as a tourist levy and tighter controls.
