Overcrowded Spanish Cities like Theme Parks

A summer of disruption is anticipated as Spain's anti-tourism protests reignite. The major cities in Spain have just kicked off the second summer of overtourism protests, but it appears inevitable that the situation will worsen as July and August 2025 approach.

While it may seem relatively relaxed at the moment, with local demonstrations involving water guns, tourists should be aware that this situation could escalate quickly, potentially leading to government travel warnings and bans. Travellers should be advised in advance that airlines from the UK and Ireland may experience flight cancellations and significant disruption as a result.

Spain is now a world-leading economy and is no longer dependent on tourist dollars; as a result, it is more likely to adopt drastic measures in response to overtourism.

Spanish hotspots have been attracting visitors since May, and the streets and beaches are overflowing. Natives are being overwhelmed in every sense of the word and have already reached the boiling point.
