Abstract: The rise of the tourist phenomenon in the city of Barcelona has its momentum in the 1992 Olympic Games. At that time, it is placed on the map of potential visitors as a destination of interest, and then number of international tourists increases year after year. Such a volume of temporary population also becomes a priority for the local administration, being a subject of debate in the city's municipal action plans, at first to promote and attract interest in the city, thus, to develop it touristically. However, from the Strategic Plans of 2015 and 2020, the main objective has been to limit touristification among other negative impacts, and to find a way to reconcile the temporality of visitors with the daily life of residents. Since, tourism impacts expand not only on the destination itself, but also on its immediate environment, the purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of the tourism activity on a consolidated destination as Barcelona metropolitan area, specifically in the so-called AMB (Metropolitan Area of Barcelona)
