Activists in San Sebastian walked behind a banner that said in Basque and Spanish: 'Decrease in tourism now.' The march started at midday and was supported by around 50 regional groups.
Around 1,000 protesters have taken to the streets of the Basque city of San Sebastian in a new Spanish anti-mass tourism protest a week after demonstrators stormed a beach in Tenerife.The march started at midday and was supported by around 50 regional groups and associations.
The march got underway at midday in a tree-filled park opposite San Sebastian City Hall and the famous La Concha bay called Alderdi Eder. One couple ended up trapped on their beach towels after protestors made a beeline for them on the sand carrying a banner which appeared to say 'Jediondos' which is Spanish slang for 'foul-smelling.'
Two major demos have taken place in the Majorcan capital Palma, the first on May 25 when organisers had to apologise afterwards for abuse directed at some foreign holidaymakers. Marchers were also heard chanting 'Tourists go home' as they passed through the central square on the 20-minute route from the park where the protest began to iconic street Paseo del Borne.
On July 27 around 250 protestors impeded tourist access to a picture-postcard Menorcan beach in a 'surprise action'.
