More than 130,000 furious anti- protesters are taking to the streets on the calling for "fewer tourist apartments, more Canarian homes," ahead of the summer holiday season.
Dressed in yellow shirts and carrying placards, locals are calling on authorities to do more to limit the impact of tourism on the area.
In recent years, there has been a surge of anti-tourism protests across European holiday destinations.
Demonstraters have complained about the impact on public services, the rise in anti-social behaviour and the exasperation of a housing crisis due to properties being bought for use as holiday homes.
