Currently holidaying in the Canaries , they have serious problems here ! Locals cannot afford to buy a home due to low wages . Nor pay rent on an appt . So I’m assuming here they are leaving the islands . Hotels appear to be short staffed , the bars and restaurants seem quite quiet . Granted UK schools are not off yet but the islands were an all year destination .
Brexit is partly to blame , you can’t even come work here on an yrs visa unless you have £50k in the bank and your own medical cover and a place to stay . The golden visas are very hard to get I guess unless you’re loaded !
I now can see why the news was showing protests etc . They are going to extend tourist taxes etc but can’t help feel they are kicking the can down the road and not addressing the issue . Plenty land round here but no money in building social housing etc !
