Mallorca’s stunning landscapes and vibrant culture attract millions of visitors each year — but recently, local frustration with mass tourism has reached a breaking point.
In July 2024, over 10,000 residents marched in Palma, protesting issues like overcrowding, housing shortages, and environmental strain.
Why Are Locals Protesting?
Housing Crisis: Short-term rentals drive up prices and reduce availability for residents
Overcrowding: Public spaces, beaches, and transport systems are often overwhelmed
Environmental Concerns: Fragile ecosystems are being pushed beyond sustainable limits
