Travellers were sprayed with water guns and trapped inside restaurants in Barcelona during a protest against mass tourism. Protestors marched through popular tourist areas on Saturday chanting “Tourists go home”, squirting people with water pistols as they sat at outside restaurant tables. Some carried signs reading ‘Barcelona is not for sale’ and ‘Dear Tourist: Balconing is Fun!’ referring to incidents where foreigners die from falling off balconies on vacation.
Videos show diners gabbing their ice creams or gathering their belongings and moving away from the shouting protestors, who proceeded to wrap fake cordons around restaurants in the Las Ramblas boulevard..
