Barcelona’s short-term rental (STR) market is not a regulatory gap waiting to be filled. STRs have been regulated since 1998 and a moratorium on new licences has existed since 2014. Since then, the number of STRs has held steady at roughly 10,000 units for over a decade — barely 1 percent of total housing stock.
