Residents of the Canary Islands are at their wits end with tourists flocking in for holidays while they can't afford to live in their own homes. The group of Spanish islands, located off the coast of Africa, regularly boom with British travellers, with nearly five million jetting in last year.
Ivan Cerdena Molina, who is helping organise the protests, told local news outlet The Olive Press that they have nothing against individual tourists but the "industry is growing and growing and using up so many resources and the island cannot cope". "Next Saturday, 20 April, we will take to the streets to once again demand what is common sense; control a situation that suffocates us and expels us from our own territory," the report added.
