I was going to write an article on this last year. The goose that lays the golden egg for several Spanish regions is choking itself to death. Very hard to attract seasonal staff in many places because accommodation is too scarce/poor quality/remote to make it worth their while. Tourism companies are competing with their own clients to buy/rent apartments for their workers, which will ultimately push prices up even further.
