Resumen: The global expansion of tourism has put the most touristic destinations in a compromising situation with their residents. The terms “tourism phobia”, “overtourism” or “touristification” appear in the news, in the scientific literature and in the daily life of local communities. Donostia has been a tourist city for more than 150 years, the local community of the city lives different realities depending on the neighborhood in which is located, but as it is well known the Old Part is the area with more tourist affluence. That is why the general objective of the present TFG is to know the perception of the local community of the Old Part about tourism in their neighborhood. After an analysis of the scientific literature related to the topic presented in the theoretical framework section, together with the study of the results obtained from a mixed methodology, we have reached the main conclusion that the perception of the local community changes according to its profile.
