Folded Beige Towels Ready for Use in Spa on Rustic Wooden Table

The operators of a Barcelona spa for lesbians have gone viral after denying entry to two US-Israeli women because of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The argument didn’t wash and staff continued to politely refuse them admission, with a full refund.
