There have been a couple more examples of anti-tourism slogans in Palma.

Both along Calle dels Olms, one of the busiest streets in the city, they have messages similar to previous slogans - "Tourist go home. Refugees welcome" and "Stop lloguer turistic" (holiday rental) and "Fora del barri Especuladors" (speculators out of the neighbourhood).

The same red paint was used, so the slogans would appear to have been the work of the same person.

Bless,last chance for him/her to do a bit of vandalism before going back to school/college or indeed getting getting a job.Would the person reply and tell if any/how many family members work in the tourist industry? Tourists out= no income for the island Agree refugees make welcome but that costs money and like it or not the islands employment and income relies 90% on us the tourists.

Good! wonderful! Get rid of all the tourists who pay your wages and once they have gone, you can start complaining that there is no work and no money.
