In the Galicia region of northwestern Spain, residents of a small village have creatively expressed their opinions against the increasing influx of tourists. This particular action has received national and international attention and has also sparked an important conversation about the impact of mass tourism.
the fun work Among the approximately 70 residents of O Morazo in the province of Pontevedra, it was not just a protest; it was an innovative way to share an important message. They blocked the pedestrian crossing by walking back and forth for 20 minutes, stopping traffic and creating a long line of waiting cars.
“We are tired of cars being able to park anywhere without any consequences. There are no fines issued and no restrictions. We have reached our limit.” The spokesman for the neighborhood group told the regional newspaper. But residents insist they are not against tourists in the area, but are demanding measures to control the situation in the summer.
Choosing a playful approach is very smart. People often associate protests with anger and frustration. By choosing a playful approach, residents can express their dissatisfaction without everything turning negative. This gives them a chance to share their concerns and have fun at the same time, making the message even more powerful.
The streets of O Morrazo are a haven for tourists and they can take a peach-shaped trip constantly to avoid the Easter cars.
