In the Old Town of Vitoria-Gasteiz, they pay tribute to the neighbors and neighbors who have banned tourist homes on their portals.
- Kalejira against tourist homes in Zaharraz Harro! within the festivities, organized by the neighborhood's Etxean bizi housing network. They have denounced those who do "business" with housing, especially the councilman of pp Gustavo Antepara, and have paid tribute to two communities of neighbors who have banned tourist homes on their portals.
Proud of the old! Kalejira has developed in the context of popular festivities, throughout the afternoon. At 18:30 hours the txupinazo has begun, which according to the official street bears the name of Burullerías but has long since been called Bollerías in the plaza. An hour after the txupinazo it has been announced that the pasacalles was going from the Town Hall Square.
“The enemies who lately take advantage of the neighborhood and cast the neighbors are joined by another: those who do business with the dwellings, now take advantage of the boom of tourism and fill the pockets with the Tourist Homes (VT),” explains a representative of the neighborhood’s Bizi housing network. Among those who do business, Gustavo Antepara stands out: “Antepara is currently a member of the PP of Vitoria-Gasteiz (with public pay) and has at least 6 ET in the Casco Viejo, many illegal and obtained with illegal works, putting at risk the homes of the neighbors” (ARGIA has brought to light, among others, the report Gustavo Antépara, member of the PP of Vitoria-Gasteiz):
Kalejira has organized against the “ETs” and in favor of the “neighbors”. “On the one hand, we will remember Antepara and those who do business with the home that we have not forgotten about them,” he said, and has encouraged the participants to fill with stickers the ET plates that we would find on the road and the homes of Antepara. “On the other hand, we are also going to celebrate it. We will pay tribute to two communities in the neighborhood that have modified their statutes to prevent the VT, placing a plaque on their portals”.

As has happened in other cities and neighborhoods, the Gasteiz Txiki Neighbourhood Association of the Old Town of Vitoria-Gasteiz proposed in 2022 to residents and neighbors the prohibition of tourist housing on their portals and explained the simple steps to follow. After the explanations, Kalejira has split between the children and teachers who learn the pandero in the gaztetxe and the three newly released giants of Zaharraz Harro!, followed by dozens of neighbors and neighbors.
Tourism transforms neighborhoods
The kalejira has had its first stop at a portal of Calle Knilería, waiting for the arrival of a neighbor from the town. “The tourism business should benefit from the principles of life: making terraces from the plazas, souvenir shops from bakeries, putting barriers and ordinances in public spaces,” said a member of Auzo Bizi, who has placed the promotion of ETT within the same logic. He explains that the TSIs increase the class gap and transform the neighborhoods to the detriment of the daily lives of the neighbors and neighbors.
“Therefore, in order to strengthen and applaud any manifestation of organization against it, today we have to thank the neighbours of Kutxi 36.” Next, the community without Tourist Housing has been fixed between applause on the portal. Here live the neighbours! A nice plate with slogans and a pasacalles in a festive atmosphere.
Stop the turistification “with the neighborhood organization”
The second stop was held on Margolari Street, opposite the portal where he was the first to ban Eta. “It takes steps in favor of the neighborhood organization, from a young age, so that all housing is residential and not a business. We hope to spread these small gestures to get the homes out of the tourist business, now that we are in time to curb the impact of the turistification. For this reason, the community of Pinto 68, who were the first in the neighborhood to modify their statutes to prevent the ETs. Second plate for you!” the organizers pointed out before giving the plaque to the smiling partner of the portal.
The third and final stop of the kalejira has taken place on the same street Margolari, in the self-managed space Korda. Korda Harro del Viejo 2022 At parties the assembly of Zahaz Harro!, the Etxean Bizi housing network in the neighborhood and the Barruoma food network collaborated. They have brought to the streets a few mezzanines and drinkers, some neighbors have responded with dances to the sounds of the trikitixas and panderos, others have put the bone to dance and the joy has prevailed on this first day of Zaharraz Harro!
