HOTELS in Costa Teguise have been forced to temporarily close ahead of the Easter holiday weekend.

Resorts will be shutting down to deal with damage from the flood after the Spanish hotspot was hit by torrential rain on Saturday.

Brits could also face disruption travelling to the island due to the strike at Gatwick Airport, which starts on Friday.

Baggage handlers, check-in staff and flight dispatchers for airlines Norwegian, Delta, TAP and Air Peace will be stepping down causing huge disruptions at the airport.

Tui and Jet2holidays have issued statements about a “small number” of cancelled holidays to the Spanish destination.

The powerful storm triggered a widespread panic with cars swept away and a state of emergency imposed.
