  "account": "The winter image of Noja (Cantabria) is one of lowered blinds, shops running at half steam and neighbors walking with slow steps in the rain. In summer, however, it's hard to find a spot on the beach, terraces serve drinks frantically and trash cans barely have time to be emptied. Nobody can cope with Noja. From the 3,000 registered inhabitants to the over 100,000 who arrive in the summer, this Cantabrian town is the one that grows the most in Spain during this time, multiplying its usual population by 33. For the next few weeks it will have to provide the services of a medium-sized city with the administrative structure of a village.",
  "summary": "Noja, Lloret de Mar and Sanxenxo exemplify the challenge facing tourist towns: populations that multiply between six and 33 times compared to the rest of the year.",
