Australia's ABC reports on a growing backlash against the level of tourism in Europe, including in Spain where AirBnB rentals have driven up rental housing prices to levels where many locals cannot now afford to live there, and Dubrovnik where Game-of-Thrones tours are driving the locals nuts.

    First the situation in Spain is a little different as put in the article and even though we have problems with some tourist (specially UK tourists) the situation is nos as bad as it appear. Arran is not exactly a protest group as its related to la CUP a Catalonia independentist party, they practice ideological squatting, their protest are not exactly pacific and they exercise violence to anything/anybody that they see as Spanish as they are a catalanist radical group. They define themselves as a action group in the political left group but for me an other they are a nazist group, nazist in the pure sense of the Nazism before the WWII.
