Cars were pulled over in the middle of the main road in the heart of Barcelona, blocking local traffic. The drivers gather by the road and play cards. The strike broke out in Barcelona last week and soon followed by other cities nationwide including Madrid, Bilbao and Seville. /VCG Photo.

During the previous negotiation, the taxi unions demanded a restriction over the number of licenses offered for car-hailing apps such as Uber and Cabify, asking a rate of one ride-hailing license for every 30 traditional taxi licenses, reported BBC. The government proposed to pass on the licensing powers to each of the regions but rejected for not solving the issue, rather making it more complicated. /VCG Photo.

Thousands of tourists have been disappointed by the local dispute in the peak summer tourist season in Spain. The two sides are to resume talks in hoping for a better solution. /VCG Photo.
