A new, heated protest has erupted in Catalonia against the tourist invasion that is suffocating Barcelona. Protesters gathered at the famous Park Güell, sending a clear and provocative message: "We are here in Park Güell to stand in solidarity with our fellow citizens: Barcelona's neighborhoods can no longer survive because mass tourism is killing them." The situation has reached its limit; exasperated residents can no longer even go to the corner shop to buy eggs without having to wade through tourists intent on collecting souvenirs.

The cry of alarm
The protest represents not only a demand for attention, but a real cry of alarm over the situation that is degenerating into a clash between residents and tourists. "Leave people alone. Tourism is killing Barcelona." He concluded by emphasizing the need to find a balance between tourism and the lives of its residents. This is an issue that, if left unaddressed, risks turning one of the most beautiful cities in the world into a mere attraction for visitors looking for photos to post.

It's true that there are a lot of tourists in Barcelona, but I think it's a complicated problem. Residents have rights, but tourism also brings money to the city. We need to find a solution; it's not easy, but it's necessary.
