MALAGA – Angered after finding out his rented home was to be converted into a rental for tourists, Dani Romero took matters into his own hands.
His “sticker rebellion” caught on, and residents of Malaga began plastering properties with stickers that said: “A family used to live here” or “All tourists are bastards”.
“I didn’t mean to arm a revolution,” Romero tells The i Paper. “I was just looking for a house to live in. But this cancer is spreading.”

It was the start of a citizen’s revolt by locals against the way their city – a popular destination for British tourists – has been taken over by visitors. “We are not against tourism or tourists but against irresponsible mass tourism,” Romero says.
