How many people realise that all hotels in Spain are obliged to automatically send all guests? information (copy of passport, date of arrival etc.), even if they are minors, within 24hrs of arrival to the local police? Amazing but true..!
This is a very undemocratic practice which treats all guests as suspects and be traced back to the Franco era when the regime wanted to keep tabs on dissidents. These practices are normally to be found in authoritarian 3rd world countries.
So the time has come to drag Spain (and indeed, within Europe, Italy, Portugal and Switzerland - all of whom employ the same practice) into the 21st century on this issue by signing the PETITION BELOW. Please share widely!!
