La GENTRIFICACIÓN de BARCELONA: ¿Qué PROBLEMAS han traído los EXPATS? Con CALVA TATUADA | KLAB

Walking through the streets of Barcelona and finding someone who speaks Spanish is practically an impossible mission, let alone someone who speaks Catalan. Tourism is devouring the city and leaving crumbs for the locals, who are forced to leave their neighborhoods due to gentrification and the unfair treatment of culture by institutions and tourists. We discussed this very topic with Carlos (@calvatatuada), a teacher and activist neighbor on social media, observing what's happening in Poblenou, a Barcelona neighborhood where beaches and housing are now inaccessible to long-time residents. It's no longer just the center of the Catalan capital; it's the outlying neighborhoods as well. La Calva explains to Sofía de la Iglesia and Ángel Gutiérrez the different types of tourism, what an expat is, what a digital nomad is, what a migrant is, and the difference between specialty coffee shops and 24-hour supermarkets. Living in our own neighborhood is something young people already see as a miracle, and that's precisely what we try to understand on this tour of a Barcelona that's changing at breakneck speed, almost like those who cycle everywhere. Is there any way to coexist with tourism without displacing those who built the city?
