Barcelona Today.
Barcelona has had the privilege to have a real booming tourist industry.
This can be due to the history and past of the city that has made it what it is now days.
In Spain people do not have the foresight that predict alarms before they occur.
The city is falling.
Too many tourists, too many hotels, too many marketing schemes to take advantage of the travellers needs.
They invest in infrastructure for the tourist but forget to develop what the traveller has come to the city for.
Yes the past is here, the history but we have to develop the present so there can be a newer past in the future.
So what do we end up with?, Thousand s of tourists looking at thousands of tourists.
Where re the locals?
Where did they go?
Where are the Catalan people?
Why can I only see tourists in the centre?
This is very sad. The ramblas and its surroundings are decaying once more to what we had before the Olympic games: prostitution, theft, pickpockets, gambling.
The authorities only act severely before Election Day and maybe will pass by laws to stop these things from happening.
But why are they happening?
Is it not because of the greed of the locals that have imported cheap labour to harvest and planet the seeds of the now declining construction industry?
Yes people have been very greedy, exploiting others for personal wealth and meanwhile no one has invested enough in the future and we have thousands of immigrants without work and in need.
I suppose the new flu is a way of distracting our attention from the upcoming problems we will have soon.
