Barcelona’s Tourist Backlash Is Real

Thinking of hitting Barcelona this summer? Locals are seriously over it—think water pistol protests and open letters telling tourists to stay away. With nearly 100 million visitors last year, the city’s charm is getting swapped for souvenir shops and global chains. Even the famous Rambla and beaches are now no-go zones for residents. The big question: is all this travel making every city feel the same? Maybe it’s time to rethink what we’re really looking for when we travel. #Barcelona #Overtourism #TravelTrends #LocalVoices #SustainableTravel #Travel
