Protests in Spain against mass tourism have resulted in fewer visitors to popular destinations such as the Costa del Sol and Majorca. Locals find relief in this decline, arguing that excessive tourism has rendered urban life unbearable and inflated housing costs.

While some residents call for regulation, businesses feel the impact, with empty restaurants and bars. Travel firms note that tourists, particularly from the UK, Germany, and Italy, now feel unwelcome in these areas. The tension between the "far right" and "progressive" views on tourism regulation is palpable, as the economy struggles with the fallout of protests.
