Well you cant blame them in a way but the Spanish Islands Canaries included wouldn't really have much of an economy without tourists . A bit like Cornwall with Smurf the locals have had enough though .Is it a case of biting the hand that feeds them ?

And  who would go where they are not wanted ?
Over tourism has now wrecked Cornwall. Just 190 homes left for locals to rent currently. Plus the high cost of holiday accommodation has led to tourists with empty wallets after they have paid for  accommodation. (Which is of no use to other business at all.) Where I live is rammed with tourists with empty wallets.
