A small group of protesters in Barcelona squirted tourists with water guns (Image: GETTY) Spain 's Tourism Minister broke his silence on the small group of protesters who sprayed holidaymakers in Barcelona with water pistols on the weekend. Jordi Hereu, who previously served as Mayor of Barcelona , said the demonstrators' actions were reprehensible, but claimed the incident was "exaggerated" by the international press. Mr Hereu went on to say Spain is a hospitable country and that the action of a small group doesn't define the reality of the entire nation.
He said: "Therefore I want to reaffirm the values of hospitality of Spain and the Spanish tourism model and one of its characteristics, which is security." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
