💨 Abstract

Spain is tightening regulations on Airbnb rentals, with over 65,000 listings removed for violating tourist rules. Catalonia has identified an additional 9,000 illegal rentals. The crackdown affects six regions, including Madrid, Valencia, and Catalonia. The new rules, starting July 1, aim to address affordable housing concerns and over tourism. Brits planning summer trips should verify their bookings for legal compliance.
