Why Spain Has to Clamp Down on Airbnb
from The Making of Madrid · host Felicity Hughes
In this episode, I'll be exploring how short-term vacation rentals are contributing to the housing crisis in Madrid, where locals increasingly struggle with skyrocketing rents and limited housing availability. In it, you'll hear about the human impact of these changes and practical alternatives for responsible tourism. Despite sensationalist reports, Spaniards are not asking for all tourists to go home, merely that we fix a broken model.
