Spain: Activists plan to protest against mass tourism in Alicante, July 13

Activists affiliated with the association "Alicante, Donde Vas?" plan to protest at the Placa de Bous in Alicante, Spain, from 19:30 July 13. The purpose of the action is to denounce mass tourism. Similar protests have recently been organized across Spain, including in Barcelona, Malaga, and the Canary Islands. Dozens to a few hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site through the evening of July 13. Protesters could confront tourists near the protest site. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.
