During the pandemic I visited Spain to see what the world looks like without the tourists and get a glimpse of what the effects could be when we would indeed stop traveling to these particular locations. La Manga del Mar Menor is a 22 kilometer long, narrow peninsula in southeastern Spain. The town has 17.000 permanent inhabitants, but has capacity to host over 200.000 people in high season. Completely surrounded by seawater (the lagoon on the west of the town is directly connected to the Mediterranean), the place is at risk of rising sea levels and could therefore ironically stay safe when we commit to traveling less far and frequently in our efforts to fight rapid climate change. I have witnessed the emptiness during the pandemic, and with that I have had a vision of the end of mass tourism.
