""We know residents consider it insufficient, but we're making an initial push for improvement that will undoubtedly benefit residents,""
""deepen the strategies already outlined for tourism management.""
""presenting a drop in visitors to Park Guell as progress in reducing tourism is a fallacy""
""Where will the visitors go instead if they don't go to the park?""
Barcelona City Council approved a gradual reduction of annual visitors to Park Guell from 4.5 million to a maximum of 4 million, phased over the next two years. The proposal was presented by ERC and received support from all city parties except the centre-right PP. The reduction will result in roughly 1,300 fewer daily visits by 2027. Neighbours and residents call the move insufficient and demand a cut to 2 million, labelling the plan a distraction tactic. Barcelona University urban anthropologist Jose Mansilla described framing the drop as progress as a fallacy and questioned where displaced visitors would go. Authorities continue seeking a balance between tourism-driven income and residents' quality of life.
