In Spain’s Mallorca, 20,000 people join anti-tourism demonstration

Some 20,000 protesters hit the streets of Palma in Mallorca Sunday for a mass demonstration against overtourism, demanding changes to a touristic model they say is harming the Spanish Mediterranean island.

Under the slogan “Let’s change course and set limits on tourism”, the demonstrators formed a sea of brightly-coloured flags and banners as they surged through the city’s most visited streets, in the latest in a wave of mass anti-tourism protests in Spain.
