Demonstrators carried banners, chanted and rattled their house keys as some called for a general strike over housing.
The protest came a day after lawmakers rejected emergency measures aimed at addressing Spain’s housing affordability crisis.
Public anger has intensified following the eviction of 87-year-old María del Carmen Abascal from her Madrid home last month, which sparked protests and an encampment in the capital’s Puerta del Sol.
