“Thousands of Canary Islanders assembled on Saturday in Tenerife as well as in other islands of the archipelago to protest against mass tourism. Demonstrations have taken place today across the islands in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and La Palma under the banner “The Canaries have a limit”. According to the organisers, 120,000 people are believed to have gathered in the city to take part in the march. Activists say the huge influx in tourist numbers is inflicting irreparable damage to the environment and is leading to poverty among the islanders due to low pay and rising property prices.”
