The Spanish Government has said it will increase security at tourist sites across the country following last week's terror attacks.

Interior minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said areas deemed to be potential terror targets would be given special protection.

"We are going to redirect our efforts and will adapt these to every place or area that needs special protection," he said.

There will also be increased security at the Spain/France border, while Italy is putting up barriers at popular landmarks.

The Times reports barriers appeared over the weekend in central Milan, they will also be erected in Palermo and Rome, while security has been tightened up in other areas, such as Bologna.
