Creo que nos estamos pasando de la raya con esto de decir que no queremos turistas y que se larguen. Nuestra ciudad, como muchas otras en España, dependen mucho del turismo y no nos vendría bien que se fuesen y que no volviesen más. Así que hay que dejarse de gilipolleces y fijarse bien en lo que uno dice para no decir tontearías y quedar de pringaos. Que hay muchos turistas y que a veces no saben comportarse, venga, eso te lo acepto. Pero la solución no es pintorrear propiedad ajena con semejantes disparates. La solución es exigirle a los ayuntamientos que tomen parte, que vigilen y que multen si es preciso a los turistas malcriados que se creen que pueden hacer en España lo que les salga de los mismísimos cojones.
La foto la hice en el barrio del Carmen, la ciutat vella, o sea, el barri gotic de la ciudad de València.

I think we’re going overboard with this idea of saying we don’t want tourists and that they should leave. Our city, like many others in Spain, relies heavily on tourism, and it wouldn’t be beneficial for us if they left and never came back. So we need to stop the nonsense and think carefully about what we say to avoid sounding foolish. Yes, there are many tourists, and sometimes they don’t know how to behave, I’ll accept that. But the solution isn’t to vandalize someone else’s property by spray-painting this bullshit on their blinds. The solution is to demand that local governments take action, monitor, and impose fines if necessary on rude tourists who believe they can do whatever they want in Spain.
The photo was taken in the Carmen neighbourhood, the old city, that is, the Gothic quarter of the city of Valencia.

Es una barbaridad y una reverenda estupidez. Al fin y al cabo a todos nos gusta ser turistas. Si hay algunos que no respetan, bien, para eso está la policía. Un abrazo y feliz día.

It’s difficult. I lived in a vacation spot for a couple of years, so I know how difficult it is to live where it’s always busy and everyone else is partying, or being loud and disrespectful. There are many bad tourists out there, but it’s a good revenue base too. Educating the tourists on the culture and acceptable behavior and laying fines those who don’t follow may be the right step.

I think so. I have always lived in high tourist areas and I understand what you say but aggressive acts towards visitors is not to be tolerated. Thanks Maggie, greetings from Spain and all the best.

I totally agree… Tourism helps the economy, and respect goes both ways. Let’s fix issues, not fuel hate.

Just the other day, there was an article in a newspaper about Irish tourists who have vowed to «stay home» after a warning was sent from Spanish protesters. Amid a rise of overtourism on the European Union mainland, protesters have vowed to take action and deter Irish and British tourists from visiting. I know that the rise in tourism has significantly increased demand for rental properties, driving up costs and making it difficult for local residents to find affordable housing. Not to mention some tourists’ behaviour, such as loud partying or disrespect for local culture, can also be a source of frustration. But on the other hand, tourism is a significant source of revenue and jobs for Spain. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

So true Aiva. Tourism is a very important source of revenue for many here in Spain and this behaviour is uncivilised and unacceptable. While there are many tourists who are rude and disrespectful, the great majority is not. So the solution is to punish the perpetrators and to welcome and treat well the others. After all we all like to travel, we all are tourists at one time or another. This movement is motivated for other reasons below the surface. Thank you Aiva and all the best!

When I went to Cuba with a group of Americans, some of them were acting stupid, going off with locals, using drugs, etc. Fidel Castro was still in power. If any of these morons had been thrown in jail, they would probably still be there.

I am sure, even without Fidel Castro, the communist system is still in power, no Human Rights there to speak of at all.
