Spain attracted a record/whopping 94 million tourists last year, making the Southern European nation famous for its Mediterranean coastline and historic sites one of the most visited countries on earth.

For the next three years, new holiday rentals will not be allowed to be registered across any of Malaga’s 43 districts, matching policies in place in areas across Spain. Holidaymakers will still be able to book hotels, Airbnbs and apartments as usual.

Protesters have demanded change in popular tourist spots across Spain and visitors dining in the city of Barcelona were even squirted with water pistols last July. A ban on short-term holiday rentals in that major city is due to be implemented from 2028, with the mayor saying it will increase housing supply for residents.

While you'll still be able to book trips to Spain, Spanish governments are instituting regulations that may effect your trip.
