Some praise them as brave, others dismiss them as stupid: macho locals and tourists alike who test themselves by running away from six fighting bulls as they charge along a winding cobble-stoned route to Pamplona's bullring. It's the highlight of the nine-day festival in the northern Spanish city - the early morning “encierros,” or bull runs, which began on Friday, when thousands of daredevils started to race against six bulls. Spectators watch from balconies and wooden barricades set up along the course. The spectacle is televised nationally. The rest of each day is for eating, drinking, danc...

Many in Málaga fear that their city is becoming a theme park for tourists. Activists say the post-pandemic tourism boom has pushed locals to the limit by distorting the rental market and gentrifying the city centre. Marching under the slogan ‘Málaga for living, not surviving’, last weekend 15,000 people took to the streets to demand affordable housing and protest mass-tourism in the Costa del Sol city. Bernardo, 39, tells Euronews Travel that he went “to support people who are trying to live with dignity in Málaga”. For many, he says, the “situation is getting worse month by month due to the c...

The wallet generates 30 pairs of keys per month that can be used once to verify a person’s identity, according to a technical document released this week. The system will have double authentication “to prevent minors from accessing through adult devices,” according to Spain’s Minister...

With record-breaking numbers of visitors set to hit Spain this summer, the Costa del Sol is taking a pre-emptive strike against one less talked-about side effect of overtourism: pee. Taking inspiration from the northern Spanish town of Vigo, which introduced fines of up to €750 for “physiological evacuation on the beach or in the sea” two years ago, Marbella is following suit by more than doubling its own fine (previously €300) to match Vigo’s. Last week Marbella city councillors voted ‘sí’ to protect the sea, approving an ordinance that bans underwater urination at 25 beaches in the Malaga mu...
