A protester shakes a keyring while holding a banner that reads “¡Derecho a techo a justo precio!” (“Right to housing at a fair price!”) as she marches down Calle de Alcalá towards Puerta del Sol during the ‘Manifestación por una vivienda digna’ (Demonstration for Dignified Housing) on February 9, 2025. Alongside her, other demonstrators raise their hands, also jingling keys in a “ruido de llaves” (noise of keys), a symbolic act protesting skyrocketing rents and housing speculation. The rhythmic clinking of keys amplifies their collective demand for fair and accessible housing, turning the sound into a powerful call for urgent policy reforms.
