Brad Ramirez+FollowBarcelona’s Tourist Backlash Is RealThinking of hitting Barcelona this summer?

With nearly 100 million visitors last year, the city’s charm is getting swapped for souvenir shops and global chains. Even the famous Rambla and beaches are now no-go zones for residents. The big question: is all this travel making every city feel the same? Maybe it’s time to rethink what we’re really looking for when we travel. #Barcelona #Overtourism #TravelTrends #LocalVoices #SustainableTravel #Travel517Share
