Been to Barcelona lots of times in the last 25 years the main problem is not tourism it’s migration and vulture property investors pricing local people out of habitation the local population are afraid that Barcelona is losing the culture that makes it special
House prices would fall, rental prices would fall, investors might look elsewhere and, god forbid, a citizen of Barcelona, might able to forge a life in his, or her, own city.

@@saltaireorangebicyclechopp8555 what city? without tourism you'd go bust just like Portugal, Greece, Malta Spain doesn't have other big industries to prop it up. shame to say but Tourism is much more than 15% of these countries' economies.
It does I agree 👌 but since lockdown the Air B&B situation has spiralled out of control. This is why Barcelona has vowed to end holiday lettings by 2028
There are many other places around Europe that would appreciate your money and are as equally beautiful. You will also find that they are way cheaper. Barcelona is sooo expensive. Been once and would never go back, never felt safe at night.
As an American who speaks Spanish with a Mexican born wife, my dream at retirement is to take her to Spain. I’ve been to Madrid and Toledo, it was a great experience. Knowledgeable tourists stay away from Barcelona because of the cruise ships and log jam of tourists. But if Barcelona is going to treat tourists with this kind of disrespect, I’ll take our holiday money elsewhere.
@josemanuelminambrescalle9693 Que miserable es a decir a otros como gastar su dinero y vivir con el idea que extranjeros no tienen cultura. Debes viajar un poco y abrir tus ojos y oidos al mundo afuera de tu cabecita. De como habla el hombre del video se nota que es Escoces, te parece que no tiene cultura la gente Escoces?
Porque cuatro estúpidos tiren agua a los turistas ya amenaza con un boicot de un año a todo el país. Te parece normal? Dando a entender que somos una mierda y que de qué vamos a vivir.
was on a Mediterranean cruise couple of years ago and the Ship needed some kind of refit so we spent 3 days in Barcelona, went to La Rambla etc but no my cup of tea, give me resorts like Benidorm any day.
No you're not Stupid Kev. It's extremely easy to stray into these lanes. In fact I'm sure they love it, as it gives them a reason to be abusive to tourists! Usually, an apology is accepted with a smile, not a death threat! 😉 p.s. watch your pockets in Barcelona, and it's not the tourists you need to worry about!
But the tourism is no longer controlled by Spaniards, outside investors have made it impossible for a Spaniard working in tourism to buy or even rent a home. Needs winding back 10 years. This is now over-tourism with a total negative societal result. You think it's just BCN? It's now hitting the streets in Valencia, Alicante, Málaga & Cadiz. Tbh the same thing happens in the UK, Cornwall, Skipton etc But we suck it up....
@@sm7Vx I've been going since 1989, the crime is committed by outsiders in general. That's their job. Why do they do it? Because a serious crime is only considered over a certain financial cost, low level & they are released from the cops & back to "work". And, there is a bountiful supply of daft/drunk victims every day downtown. One look at them tells you they are not local.
@@sm7Vx No they don't create jobs. They rent out apartments, taking housing out of the local market, or have aparthotels where your single slave is the receptionist/cleaner/security & meeter & greeter.
Oh dear i’ve done that myself, wandered into a cycle lane and got shouted out 😳 Nice is also a lovely place to visit but pebbly beach. Cheap buses and trams though
English need to take note and start doing something about all the foreign people given our locals houses over people who have lived in the area the whole life
If you were to remove the tourists from your video, you might have a dozen or so locals. Most of those bars/restaurants would vanish. If this issue is property ownership, then Barcelona is not alone. London is also unaffordable to people due to so-called foreign investment, and yes, the problem should be addressed, but dont bite the hand that feeds you without tourists the economy nose dives. The government should make owning multiple properties impossible for foreign nationals, whether personally or through companies.
Interesting Kevin & guess the person who shouted at you was justified if he was in the cycle lane The beach isn’t around where you walked as think you were near the cruise port ? Love the city x👍👍
Does that mean that you had the right to shout at and be rude to the cyclist riding close to you on the pavement at 7:41 🤔 Shouldn't it work both ways?
i have been to barcelona a few times didnt like it. was just scruffy, overpriced, full of theives and miserable locals who hate the spanish as well as the english. id rather go to madrid where tourists are appreciated a bit.
They'll be making a crossing point on cycle lanes next stop the scooter

OF all the major med cities Barcelona didn't appeal to me at all, just like Madrid, Naples and Milan it's overrated, overpriced, full of criminals and dirty in places.
That Black Lab is great for craft beers and they do some nice fodder also. I stay not far from their when In Barca. Take a walk down the beach to Port Olympic man. Some nice bars, restaurants and a nice view onto the marina. If you do want a laugh go on the cable car. Shites the live outta me lol but would make awesome content with the views you get ;-)
Nope Kevin Barcelona is a city break that just has a beach 😂 A few years back there was a severe storm and high waves,(for the Mediterranean) washed away the beach. The city had to import mega tons of sand to repair the beach. I won't add the probability of why that 🛴 rider was angry but use your own imagination 😎 Cheers DougT

Wonder how many jobs will be lost and places shut down if tourists stay away.
A lot of economic activity would vanish. Youngsters would have less opportunities.
House prices would fall, rental prices would fall, investors might look elsewhere and, god forbid, a citizen of Barcelona, might able to forge a life in his, or her, own city.

Barcelona relies on tourism? Need a history lesson.

Be funny if no tourists went to Spain. The arse would fall out the place.
Yup and Blackpool would be buzzing again....make it happen 😏
Its not the only place on med. These fools would be begging us British to come back if we stayed away for a year 🇬🇧
Gasta tú dinero en leer y adquirir cultura y déjanos en paz
The stupid self-entitlement of the British.
Nobody is going to beg you shit anywhere in the "med".

20 billion euros spent by British in Spain last year.

Potentially a dodgy dude graber on the Scooter 🛴
They just sabotaged their own country.L and placed a target on the back of their fellow spaniard tourists abroad.
Those people have walked right into the cycle lane. Most cyclists don't use the lane. That guy who stopped certainly didn't.

Perhaps we should stop visiting altogether and let's see how it goes
Well it'd go well for the locals...
they'd all go bust the jobs and taxes from tourism couldn't be replaced by other industries.

Wonder how many Spanish travelled as TOURISTS to Germany to watch the football. Hypocrites. Do they not go on holiday in Barcelona.
I've done the same walked into a cycle lane I'd except to shouted at but I shout at them if they were on the side walk Kevin ❤❤
Oh dear i’ve done that myself, wandered into a cycle lane and got shouted out 😳

You come on holidays to relax 😊
Just remember when yer back hame ye willni have the luxury of awe that pavement space.😂

It’s just the tourists the people in Barcelona don’t want though. They want more “refugees” for some reason.
I do not know of many Spaniards relocating to UK. Do you?
@@user-bp9wq6ll4i who mentioned Spanish?
€10!!! Rip off.
Scarier than a trip te Yoker
la rambla was nice in 90s kev I was there to see cranberries play live n used to see a lady down on carrer dels enamorates
