The whole map of Spain in Pinezki. Tourists should avoid these places

Spain is one of the favorite directions of Poles to relax, and in 2024 it was one of the countries we flew most often. For years, however, it has been struggling with the frustration of local residents, who are fed up with crowds, destruction of nature and the decreasing availability of apartments by short -term rental.

Protests on April 5 in Spain. Where will they take place?

On Saturday, April 5 in Spain, the first big protest against the country’s housing policy will take place this year. Although the action is not directly aimed at tourists from abroad, problems with apartments are associated with their growing presence in both the continental part and in the islands. “Mass tourism has accelerated the construction of entire housing blocks for tourists in large cities, and even in some smaller municipalities,” noted the Association of Asturia tenants.

Last year, the inhabitants of Barcelona vent their frustration, pouring water in restaurant gardens. Therefore, on Saturday it is better to avoid places where manifestations will take place or simply keep calm and not provoke anyone with noisy or unkitable behavior.

As many as 40 cities are to protest.

Demonstrations, among others in Palma de Mallorca and Alicante

What time will the demonstrations start?

• Alicante – 18:00 – the beginning of the demonstration on Plaça Manila

• Barcelona – 18.00 – Protesters will gather on Plaça Espanya

• Fuerteventura – 12:30 – the protest will take place in the capital, Puerto del Rosario

• Palma de Mallorca – 12:00

• Tenerife 18:00 – protest in San Isidro

Tourists can also face the inconvenience in Spain before Easter. Hotel employees are planning to strike there because of unsatisfactory salaries, which we wrote more about here.

Saturday’s manifestations were preceded by a letter about mass tourism. The authors wrote in it that “the greed and avarice of hoteliers, politicians, real estate investors and» parasites of all kinds “led to the deterioration of the state of territory and the island’s ecosystem, problems with infrastructure, overcrowded public services, gentrification and a decrease in quality of life. They added that All this is the result of uncontrolled tourism.
