Watch: Moment boat migrants land on tourist-packed beach in Spain’s Mallorca 

A VIDEO has captured the moment boat migrants land on a beach in Spain’s Mallorca, packed full of tourists. 

Mallorca is known for its stunning beaches, great nightlife and rich culture. 

Thousands of tourists flock there every year to enjoy the Spanish holy trinity: sun, sea and sand. 

But tourists trying to catch a tan at the Cala Gran (Cala d’Or) in Mallorca would have a shock on Tuesday, August 13.

Hundreds watched in awe as a small boat landed on the shore at around 06:00pm and a group of migrants disembarked and walked across the beach. 

The group was made up of eighteen young men holding just small backpacks. 

They left the boat where it had landed. 

It was the fifth small boat to arrive on Tuesday, with others arriving in Formentera and Cabrera. 

At least 70 people were on the boats.
