Tent camp at Madrid's Puerta del Sol protests housing crisis
Original: ‘It keeps growing’: the tent camp that stands against #Spain ’s #housing crisis https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s
A tent camp is growing across Puerta del Sol plaza in central Madrid, where protesters are camped out against Spain's housing crisis and what organisers call the 'rentier economy'. The protest comes as rents in Spanish cities keep rising, and the camp has become a symbol of mounting anger over affordable housing shortages.
Why now: Spain's worsening housing affordability crisis keeps driving protests, and the camp's growth is drawing attention.
