Things got heated in Ibiza this week. Hundreds of locals went to a famous beach to show they are tired of mass tourism.
For a long time, the island has been a go-to spot for people looking to party and vacation. But the people who live there say it has gone too far.
During the protest, locals blocked off parts of the beach. They carried signs and chanted messages like, "The island is not for sale." They are upset because they feel like there are tourists everywhere they look.
They say the island is just too crowded. They feel that the big crowds are changing their home and making it hard for them to live their daily lives.
This protest is part of a bigger movement happening in popular vacation spots. Residents in many places are starting to speak up against the way mass tourism takes over their neighborhoods.
For now, the people of Ibiza are making it clear: they want their island back, and they want the authorities to listen to their concerns about overcrowding.
