Across Spain, thousands have taken to the streets to demand action on the rising cost of housing, particularly in Barcelona. The surge in property prices, fueled by booming tourism and property speculation, has made buying a home unaffordable for many residents. Rental prices have also skyrocketed, putting a strain on local communities. Demonstrators are calling for reforms to address the housing crisis and reduce the impact of tourism on the local real estate market.
