Who Owns the Island? Sánchez Brings the EU into Play Against the Second‑Home Boom

Answer

Why is Cala Major often mentioned in Mallorca’s housing debate?

Cala Major is mentioned because residents there have complained about apartments that are occupied only for short periods each year. That fits a broader pattern seen in parts of Mallorca, where housing stock is increasingly tied to seasonal use rather than permanent living. The concern is that local communities become harder to sustain.
