Residents on Lanzarote, in Spain’s Canary Islands, stage protests aimed at tourism pressures they say are affecting local living costs and public spaces. Reports describe individuals gluing shut Airbnb key boxes and placing fake police tape to cordon off certain beauty spots. The demonstrations are presented as a response to what residents describe as the impact of British holidaymakers, including overcrowded beaches and rising rents. One figure cited is that more than two million travellers from Britain and Ireland visit the cheapest Canary Island each year, making up over half of its tourist business, according to the accounts provided. The sources characterize the protests as residents’ effort to limit access and draw attention to short-term rental practices. No outlet included additional official context in the provided excerpts, such as statements from authorities, evidence of arrests, or outcomes of the actions. Overall, the reports focus on resident-led disruption of rental access and attempts to deter visitors at specific locations.
