Thousands gathered in Barcelona and other Spanish cities to protest against the impact of mass tourism, accusing it of driving up housing costs and displacing residents.
The demonstration included symbolic actions such as squirting water pistols, setting off coloured smoke, taping off hotel entrances, and releasing smoke bombs near luxury stores like Louis Vuitton.
Activists say tourism is inflating housing prices, harming the environment, and forcing residents out of their neighborhoods.
In particular, residents near Barcelona’s Park Güell are calling for a 50% reduction in daily ticket sales, claiming the city’s tourism model is outdated and has turned their area into a theme park.
Similar protests took place in other parts of Spain, including Ibiza, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, San Sebastian, and Granada.
