Another Spanish city declares it is 'full' and warns UK tourists 'enough'

Another Spanish city has joined the chorus of destinations saying they're at capacity, issuing a stark warning to tourists that it's "enough". Seville residents are the latest to voice their concerns, following in the footsteps of those in the Canary and Balearic Islands, over what is seen as excessive tourism.

Residents are gearing up for protests across Tenerife, Lanzarote, and other locations on April 20, expressing their frustration with the annual invasion of British holidaymakers. The protesters point to housing shortages and subpar living conditions as reasons for their discontent.

The activist group "Sevilla Se Muere", which translates to "Seville is dying", took to the streets of Seville's city centre on April 10 to voice their opposition to the tourism sector and its impact on local life. They have criticised the city council sharply.

The organisation stated: "With the slogan of this call, Now is the Time, we want to denounce the city model that the city council and lobbies are imposing on us. For years, we have seen abuses that only benefit a few and condemn our neighbours. It is time for them to know that what they have been doing with Seville for years is not what we Sevillians want for our city."

"The city is bursting at the seams. We can't take it any more. Let's reverse this unsustainable situation before it is too late". Furthermore, the group declared: "The people of Seville pay the costs of cleaning and repairs, while we suffer the noise and insecurity that they cause.", reports Birmingham Live.

Seville, the capital and largest city of the Spanish autonomous community of Andalusia and the province of Seville, welcomes three million tourists annually. With a population of 700,000, it is nestled on the lower reaches of the River Guadalquivir, in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
