Spanish anti-tourism protesters including a new group called 'The Canary Islands have a limit' have targeted British sunbathers in Tenerife where they demanded 'more tourists, more misery'
A wave of protests has hit Spanish holiday hotspots, such as Barcelona and Tenerife, with residents demanding action on increasing rent prices and surging tourist numbers. This past Sunday saw more than 8,000 activists marching in protest with the message: "We don't need more tourists."
Other islands like Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, La Palma, and El Hierro have experienced similar disruptions. An anti-tourism sentiment is brewing in Spain, as a group fiercely opposes the overwhelming number of visitors, declaring: "We will go to the tourist areas because that is where the injustice we are denouncing is taking place and because that is where we want to confront the system that is destroying our islands."
