Cameras should be installed to stop too many tourists entering popular areas at the same time, experts say
Spain urgently needs to better manage the sheer volume of tourists, according to architects, engineers and tourism experts who took part in a study focused on the city of Valencia Campaigners in the city have been mapping illegal tourist apartments in the Cabanyal-Canyamelar area in Valencia’s centre, which they say is becoming overwhelmed with holiday lets.
Professor Viñals said Valencia was not at the same level of tourist saturation as Barcelona, Venice, London or Paris but action should be taken before permanent damage is done. Researchers spent three years examining Valencia cathedral, the popular churches of San Juan del Hospital and El Patriarca and tourist flows in surrounding streets.
