If I’m not wanted by the locals, there is a very easy solution to that. On the other hand, I wonder how business-owners in Barcelona feel about this protest. Additionally, I just recently spend a week in the Granada area and had a wonderful time. All the local establishments were extremely welcoming and courteous and provided excellent service..
I had pleasure trips to Barcelona, South France, and the Basque areas of France and Spain scheduled that wound up being cancelled (twice!) due to Covid.
Hoping to actually do some travelling later this year in the shoulder season, and thought about trying to reschedule the same trip a third time. But, given the drought in Barcelona, and the issues described in this article and comments, I decided to rearrange the trip so that it is occurring almost entirely in smaller towns and cities in France.
Figured this might be the last chance to see France before Islam takes it over. But who knows? Maybe Le Pen will win and turns things around, at least for a little while.
