Protesters took to Tenerife's capital to protest tourism over the weekend
UK holidaymakers appear to be 'abandoning' their sunny retreats in the Canary Islands, including Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Tenerife, due to a significant European Union rule change. Post-Brexit, UK nationals can only spend 90 days at a time in the Schengen area, which includes Spain .
The demonstrations were hoped to halt the rise in short-term holiday rentals and hotel developments, which are driving up local housing costs, reports BristolLive. Signs reading: 'We don't want to see our island die', 'Stop Hotels' and 'Canaries not for sale' were visible during these large-scale protests.
"It's not a message against the tourist, but against a tourism model that doesn't benefit this land and needs to be changed," one protester in Santa Cruz de Tenerife said.
