Hundreds of tourists were forced to be evacuated from homes and hotels as forest fires ravaged Ibiza yesterday.
The fire, which started on Wednesday, has burned more than 5,000 acres of pine forest in the north of the Mediterranean resort island.
Officials say it is the worst forest fire ever seen on Ibiza, but miraculously no one has so far been hurt.
