The protests in the Canary Islands have shifted in focus from general political accountability to a more direct confrontation with tourists, reflecting rising tensions over mass tourism.
Protesters voiced their frustrations not just with the impact of mass tourism on the environment and housing prices, but increasingly shifted to directly addressing tourists themselves.
Banners at the demonstrations boasted provocative messages such as 'Tourism is colonialism' and 'This beach is ours,' indicating the growing resentment towards tourist presence on the islands.
Despite a smaller turnout compared to previous protests, the mood was more aggressive, with protesters specifically targeting tourists in popular beach areas, which marked a significant change in tactic.
