Tourists dining in Barcelona were drenched with water guns by angry crowds of anti-tourism protesters marching down the main boulevards.
Carrying banners with slogans including “Tourism kills the city” and “Tourists go home”, several thousand demonstrators rallied through hotspots including the famous La Rambla.
Some of the demonstrators called out insults at tourists who took photographs of the march, while others taped off hotels and restaurants in a symbolic protest at overtourism in the Catalan capital.
The use of water guns by some protestors againt onlooking tourists prompted some heated verbal exchanges, but order was maintained by police escorting the march.
