I think there should probably be greater restrictions placed on subletting/holiday homes which would ease the main issue of people being priced out their hometown quite substantially.

I feel for the people from these towns/cities who were born and raised there. However if you move to a place like Barcelona or Madrid and then complain about tourism I truly don't know what you expected.

Like Joey though, I've done my bit with Spain. I'd maybe like to visit Seville, but other than that I am switching my focus for travel firmly to Asia.

They are attacking Cruise Ships though, not Air B and B, its all just nonsense

We are off to our place on Wednesday I don't expect there will be any protests, the local businesses rely on the summer business carry them through the winter, and anyway the resort is too small to attract anything of note
