A new piece of graffiti by artist RockBlackBloc in the city's Paral.lel neighborhood reads, ''Tourism is killing this city,'' and ironically becomes a photo spot for numerous tourists. The artwork reflects growing frustration among locals over mass tourism and its effects, including skyrocketing rental prices, which increase by 70% over the past decade. The piece appears amid ongoing grassroots protests calling for limits to a tourism model many residents now view as unsustainable in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, on April 05, 2025.
