  • On Monday, Spain's government ordered Airbnb to block 65,935 holiday rental listings across Madrid, Andalusia, and Catalonia for rule violations.
  • This order follows rising concerns over a housing affordability crisis, which has caused protests and prompted government actions against short-term rentals.
  • Many of the blocked listings lacked valid license numbers, did not specify owner types, or showed discrepancies with official records.
  • Barcelona plans to close all 10,000 licensed short-term rental apartments by 2028 to safeguard housing for full-time residents amid the proliferation of holiday rentals.
  • The blockade of listings and rental closures highlight Spain’s efforts to address overtourism and housing issues amid ongoing public protests.
