Just last night a huge earthquake struck the Greek Islands and Turkey and sparked a mini tsunami, leaving two people dead and more than 120 injured.

The 6.9 magnitude quake struck off the coast of Marmaris in Turkey, popular with Brit revellers, but left the Greek island of Kos the worst affected.

Now shock figures in a report seen by Daily Star Online have revealed the Balearic Islands of Ibiza, Majorca and Minorca are next most at risk should a quake happen.

Cartagena, Alicante, which includes popular destinations Benidorm and Murcia in the Iberian Peninsula, would face danger in the event of a quake, a report reads.

We found holidaymakers would have just 20 minutes to flee for their lives as four metre-high waves surge towards the sunny tourist hotspots.

But thousands may be able “to do nothing” with no tsunami detectors along the coast.

More than 12 millions Brits travel to Spain each year for the sun-soaked beaches.

However, the report believes some of the top tourist hotspots are the most at risk.

The research by Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences details what would happen in the event of an earthquake in northern Algeria, off the south coast of Spain.
