Protesters in Barcelona have sprayed visitors with water as part of a demonstration against mass tourism.

Demonstrators marching through areas popular with tourists on Saturday chanted “tourists go home” and squirted them with water pistols, while others carried signs with slogans including “Barcelona is not for sale.”

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of the city in the latest demonstration against mass tourism in Spain, which has seen similar actions in the Canary Islands and Mallorca recently, decrying the impact on living costs and quality of life for local people.

The demonstration was organised by a group of more than 100 local organizations, led by the Assemblea de Barris pel Decreixement Turístic (Neighborhood Assembly for Tourism Degrowth).

    Wat? Does you geography?

    Barcelona is in Catalonia its the part of Spain directly across the Pyrenees from Perpignan.

    Are you thinking of Cadiz? (You’re still wrong) Or Tangier? Marrakech? Fez? Casablanca?

    And why do you think nobody cares about Morocco?

        That’s quite possible but if they are they’re failing even at doing that properly. Damn, the class of bigot we get today are just so fucking incompetent! /s
