Brits have been issued a holiday warning as snow and -2C temperatures hit popular hotspots including Ibiza and Malaga.
Known more for their blazing sun and party holidays, instead the beaches in Ibiza and streets of Malaga were covered in snow today.
Majorca was hit by freezing weather as the country of Spain shivered through a polar freeze.
The town of Sant Joan de Labritja on the island recorded a temperature of -2C overnight as coming days will see the chill feel as cold as -3C in some parts of the country.
Instead of its usual sun and blue skies, snow now covers much of the island including dusting the popular beach Cala Llonga.
More snow is now expected through to the weekend. But beyond it the blue skies and sun will generally return with warmer temperatures.
Spain’s Meteorological Agency Aemet even issued a yellow warning for snow and coastal phenomena in the Balearics too.
Frost and heavy snow is expected to blanket some parts of the island, especially along the north-western coast.
Aemet warned: "Precipitation today in the Balearic Islands , snow above 850 meters (until 8 a.m.) Mallorca: 2 Capdepera Lighthouse, 1 Escorca, Son Torrella 1 Colonia de Sant Pere.
Even if some places avoid the snow and frost temperatures are expected to remain low, not any higher than most of the UK.
A video from the island showed heavy snow falling, covering trees and roads, as thick fog obscured the usually picturesque mountains around.
The weather warning was issued shortly after the first snow of the year fell on the island.
But snow wasn’t the only weather the island had to brace for and over 40 provinces were put on alert this week for heavy rain, snow, ice, strong winds and huge waves as two storms battered the island.
This comes as the UK braces for blizzard like conditions next week that could see 2cm of snow fall in an hour in places.
Weather maps show that a blizzard could hit the UK on the final day of the month.
Scotland will feel the brunt of the weather but any such weather systems would weaken as they travel southwards across the UK.
This week also saw the bizarre phenomena of the north being 19C warmer than the south east on Monday morning.
The country may be used to the north getting most of the rain and snow, but the conditions were reversed for once.
Parts of northern Scotland woke up to 11C whilst London and the south-east shivered through frozen fog and -8C.
The contrast hung around for a few days, becoming gradually less severe but shocked Brits so much even Specsavers asked: “Is this map the right way up?”
