Mainland Spain, Canary Islands & Balearics

Last summer, comparable protests attracted thousands of residents in Barcelona, MĂĄlaga, the Canary Islands, and the Balearic Islands. Demonstrators brandished signs with messages like **”tourists, go home,”** with some encounters turning confrontational.
In Barcelona, some visitors were targeted with water guns, and on Menorca, protesters blocked entry to a favored beach.

Housing Predicament and Environmental Desolation

The mounting discontent is rooted in what activists portray as a housing emergency exacerbated by short-term lets and unregulated tourism.
In Spain, average rents have doubled in the past decade, and property prices have surged by over 44%, rendering it progressively challenging for locals to stay in their communities. Since 2020, residential rental availability has drastically diminished, while services like Airbnb have thrived in urban and coastal areas.

**”Tourism has rendered it nearly impossible for families to reside in their hometowns,”** said Maria Cardona, a SET Network member from Ibiza. **”This summer, we are poised to intensify our actions.”**

Environmental activist Margalida Ramis from the GOB group also cautioned of irreversible deterioration unless tourism expansion is contained. **“We require immediate constraints on tourism and a genuine socioeconomic metamorphosis.”**

Protest Intent

Despite the escalating tensions, some groups have stressed that the protests are not directly targeted at travelers.

**”We are not opposed to tourists,”** stated one SET member. **”However, we do not endorse a lifestyle in our cities and regions that transforms them into places we no longer desire, or can afford, to inhabit.”**

European-wide Movement

The movement encompasses activists from across the continent, including Lisbon, Venice, Milan, Naples, Marseille, Genoa, and the Pyrenees—each experiencing a surge in tourism and housing displacement.
Some communities within the Pyrenees have suffered from environmental degradation due to the demand for skiing and hiking trails.

Anti-Tourism Demonstrations Set for Mid-June

Synchronized rallies are set to occur on Saturday, June 15th, organized by the Southern European Network Against Touristification (SENet), a conglomerate of activist collectives from Spain, Italy, France, and Portugal.

Coordinator’s Strategy Meeting

The alliance held its most recent strategic gathering in Barcelona during the last weekend, solidifying intentions for comprehensive rallies throughout the Mediterranean region.

Anticipated Disruptions in Key Areas

  • Airports
  • Famous Beaches
  • City Centers
Organizers have signaled that travelers should expect disruptions as rallies in these key tourist destinations could potentially overflow into airport terminals during peak travel periods.
Activists behind the crusade affirm that the protests are intended to spotlight the adverse effects of mass tourism on housing, the ecosystem, and the standard of living for local inhabitants.

**”We aim to instill a sense of caution in tourists,”** said Barcelona protester Elena Boschi. **”Without a sense of unease, there is no impetus for change.”**

Movement Leadership

Daniel Pardo, a prominent activist leader, noted that while there is no singular tactic agreed upon, the mobilization will encompass various groups operating concurrently across major tourist hubs.

Some communities within the Pyrenees have suffered from environmental degradation due to the demand for skiing and hiking trails.
British travelers venturing to Spain for their summer vacations could encounter interruptions due to planned demonstrations. Those organizing holidays to prime Spanish locales in June—such as the Canary Islands, Mallorca, and Barcelona—are advised to be prepared for potential disturbances, as campaigners gear up for **”unparalleled activism”** opposed to extensive tourism.
