The comments against the instagrammer and his attitude towards what Barcelona is experiencing were not long in coming. "If you really want to help, instead of saying 'Barcelona is on fire', you could explain what is happening . Perhaps your followers understand what this is all about, which is a very serious problem," is one of the comments.

"Show more respect for our city," says another. "The fire represents the struggle of the Catalans, it is not something to publish as if it were stupid, " writes another. "You should be ashamed," many of the comments tell him.

The influencer was not hidden from criticism and has tried to respond to many of them by ensuring that he "loves Barcelona" and that he is constantly visiting "promoting the city and its premises."

"As an influencer I show a lot of beautiful places and I criticize various places, so I make people want to come to Barcelona as a tourist, love them or dream about it," he wrote on Instagram. Despite his explanations, there are many who believe that his 'posturing' in such serious events is disrespectful.
