Last month, scores of protestors took to the streets across the Canary Islands calling for a temporary limit to the number of visitors arriving to the British hotspot
Brits eyeing a summer getaway to the Canary Islands have been reassured that recent anti-tourism graffiti is nothing more than the work of "bored kids".
Clips of demonstrators voicing their frustrations with chants like "si vivimos del turismo por que no somos ricos?" which translates to "if we live off tourism why aren't we rich?" circulated online. Despite the protest concerns, several expats maintained the situation has been "blown out of proportion". One woman voiced her standpoint: "The Canaries are NOT against tourism nor tourists from anywhere, including the UK. The demonstrations were about controlling the number of tourists that are coming in."
However, Deputy Mayor of Tenerife, Carlos Tarife, recently urged Brits to seek alternative locations for affordable all-inclusive holidays. In a reply, a local resident suggested the graffiti was likely the handiwork of "bored kids" looking for attention. They said: "You do realise that most graffiti is written by bored kids, right? They want to be 'rad', get attention and copy what is trending. Hardly Banksy, is it?"
