Abstract

Málaga, once a gateway to the Costa del Sol, has become a cautionary tale of tourist overexposure. A cultural rebranding effort—anchored by museums and pedestrian upgrades—has drawn millions, but at great cost. Local shops have been replaced by chains, neighbourhoods like Lagunillas emptied by Airbnb, and public life hollowed out. While officials now propose limits on rentals and alternative tourist routes, the social and spatial damage is deep. Spaces like La Casa Invisible offer resistance, but broader questions loom: Can Spain continue to rely on such a fragile industry? Without structural change, it’s unclear if any local life will remain.
