From fines for drunken behavior to dress codes that ban football strips in some Mallorca resorts and restaurants, Spain is trying to reduce tourism, which makes everyday life harder for Spaniards.
Barcelona is the last region in Spain to set new rules that make tourism less destructive to locals. According to a Sun report, Barcelona authorities have released new controls to minimize inconvenience to locals.
The restrictions mainly affect guided tours, which are common in the big city as a way to learn about the sights.
Megaphones will no longer be allowed in the coastal city, so drivers will have to use audio equipment or speak at normal volume. Group leaders should plan walking routes that “minimize inconvenience.”
Tourist groups should be limited to 30 people – this reduced to 15 in smaller areas. And some attractions will only accept groups of three to eight guests at a time.
In addition, the tours must follow a one-way system and can only take place on a total of 24 streets and squares.
In addition, tour guides were urged to ask tourists to book in advance instead of advertising the business publicly.
They also need to find “spacious places” to stop instead of disturbing.
