Anti-tourism protestors destroy hundreds of sunbeds in Tenerife

1 min read

Despite winter closing in on Spain’s tourist resorts, the anti-tourism sentiment shows no sign of slowing.

From Euronews, a wave of vandalism struck two popular beaches in Los Cristianos, Tenerife, last week. More than 230 sunbeds were defaced and sprayed with anti-tourism graffiti such as "Canarias se defiende" (The Canary Islands defend themselves) and "Canarias no se vende" (The Canary Islands are not for sale).

Discovered in the early hours of Thursday morning, 5 December, sunbeds on both Las Vistas and El Camison beaches were damaged by several unknown individuals in what Arona City Council describes as a ‘coordinated attack’.
