Spain is regularly the world’s second most visited country, behind France. Tourism is 12% of its economy. If it wants to take the economic hit, let it go ahead. That said, I understand the complainers’ issue. It’s the same here in the centre of Edinburgh, particularly during Festival season. There needs to be a balance between the passing tourist and the permanent local; at the moment, in too many places, the passing tourist is clearly favoured. On the wider point, it is a shame that so many places (particularly in Europe) are more open-air museums/theme parks than living, breathing, working, organic cities.
