It’s well past the August holiday peak, but anger against over-tourism in Spain is spilling into the off-season, as holiday-makers continue to seek winter sun.

On Sunday locals in the Basque city of San Sebastian plan to take to the streets under the banner: “We are in danger; degrow tourism!”

And in November anti-tourism protesters will gather in Seville.

Thousands turned out last Sunday in the Canary Islands, so the problem is clearly not going away.

Is not the tourists or their views on how the local live, is locals being displaced from their own city and way of living by a bunch of Instaexperiences and impersonation of what is authentic of the region.

None of these articles talk about the difference in income across north and south Europe where northerners and people from the US can go and hoard apartments bars and city areas outcasting locals with high prices.

Lots of reference to "tourist apartments" in there. Are we talking about people and companies buying up residential properties and turning them into short-term rentals (AirBnB)? Because definitely fuck that.

Maybe Spain is fine with tourists but tired of the British?
