COSTA DEL SNOW Shock for British holidaymakers as freak BLIZZARDS hit Majorca and Benidorm

BRITISH holidaymakers jetting away for some winter sun got arctic snow instead as blizzards swept the Spanish coast and islands.

The snow storm has blanketed the “sunshine island” of Majorca and Benidorm with thick snow with scenes more like Scandinavia than the Mediterranean.

The coast of Spain has also been hit with Alicante having the most snow in decades.

Alicante was battered by a thunder storm following the heavy snow fall

It could be a picture postcard scene in the Alpines, except it isn’t …it’s Majorca
