I'm going to carry a water pistol filled with urine and liquid mace when I next go to Spain. Problem solved.

I carry a spiked bat, never have any issues.
There’s not much going on in ski resorts apart from skiing 4 or 5 months of the year. The population of these resorts is probably tiny out of seasonSo, just like most ski resorts across the planet then?
Is the seasonal workers that the locals hate or the tourists?
This assumes those affected have had some sort of choice, i.e. decided to live somewhere that's a hot-spot. Imagine if wherever you live right now suddenly (or gradually over time) becomes massively desirable as a destination for one reason or another. I don't think it's unreasonable for people to be a bit put out that for a limited time each year their cost of living sky rockets, and in other periods properties are standing empty despite local people being desperate for somewhere to stay.I have no sympathy for them, it's a global phenomenon of nice places seeing rents and house prices sky rocket. For no fault of their own my children will struggle to buy a house where we live now.
If they don't like it they should move.
I think ski resorts are slightly different, the locals enjoy the facilities on their doorstep, but it’s a case of “it’s s local shop for local people”. I remember a chat with a restaurant owner a few years back and they were quite upfront that they wouldn’t be able to keep things so “cheap“ if they didn’t resort to illegal Mexicans in the back. It’s now Argentinians/Chilieans. It keeps the prices down so locals don’t care. But since Airbnb took off it’s sucked up property that’s priced locals out and cause issues with seasonal workers being forced further from the resort and making it a less attractive work destination.So, just like most ski resorts across the planet then?
