CONCEPT : We are investigating the impact of tourism on the everyday life of the local people in Barcelona by comparing the areas where local people intersect with tourists.

The area is very noisy, crowded and dense because of the activities directed towards tourists. There is a homogenous amount of restaurants and supermarkets, which suggests that the small number of local people is not due to the lack of facilities. The area of Sagrada Familia is full of souvenir shops that doesn’t leave space for activities for local people.SITE PHOTOS
