Spain has implemented new regulations affecting short-term tourist rentals, aiming to address the country's housing shortage. The move, particularly in Málaga, sparked confusion and concern among some tourists, who misinterpreted the rules as a complete ban. However, the regulations primarily target unregistered holiday flats, leaving hotels and other accommodations unaffected. The government emphasizes prioritizing residential housing and curbing the uncontrolled expansion of tourist rentals, which are blamed for driving up rental costs beyond the reach of locals.
Spain has introduced new regulations that could affect some tourists visiting the country for their summer holidays this year.
