      I spent a fortnight in Magaluf one weekend. Torremolinos doesn't look too bad, though. We were in Gran Canaria last week and all the locals seemed quite happy to take loads of the funny money we brought with us and I don't think any of the drinks, and we had quite a few, contained any unusual additives.

    Many Spaniards sold many towns and properties because they were run down shat holes and were very happy to take the money given for their over valued properties and now after many decades of improvements the Spaniards want it all back and are trying to make life uncomfortable to aid getting the properties back now they are worth living in.

    air bnb have gone from someone renting out the property when they arent their to big businesses buying up anything available with some owners running thousands of properties. not just in spain but in a lot or touristy areas and even small villages in the UK pricing locals out of the own local community.

    Spit in your beer? May get a full pint so instead of a 3/4's of a pint, and quarter 'froth'. 😂

    I can honestly say the idea of living in Spain does not appeal to me at all. Not sure I'd want to live anywhere on the Continental mainland, to be honest. But that's me.

    Interesting video. This is all news to me, so it really is quite fascinating to hear about these problems with tourists. I can sort him understand it, but, as you say, without the tourist, many of these resorts would perhaps slide into obscurity and become neglected.

    I work in an area that developed high tourism over the last 20 years. I never worked in tourism I worked in farming until the British government started "improving" that. Now all the tourists cause year round traffic jams sometimes up to an hour long, most of them can't handle the rural roads and many of them are rude and worse yet they are domestic tourists.
    I don't think turning an entire county over to tourism has helped anyone. bring back the fishing, farming and rural peace.
