Barcelona is banning Airbnb.
The mayor has announced that he will not renew the licenses for any of the over 10,000 short-term tourist rentals in the city.
By 2028 all of these apartments and houses will go back into the rental market for local residents.
Rents in the city have increased by 70% over the past decade, and the cost of buying a house has gone up by nearly 40%.
