Housing shortage in Mallorca: Protection for locals or symbolic politics?

Answer

Why is housing so expensive in Calvià, Mallorca?

Calvià is one of the areas in Mallorca where housing prices are especially high, and the land registry points to significantly higher average values than in many other places. Strong demand, limited supply and pressure from second homes all add to the problem. Tight access rules may change who gets priority, but they do not lower prices on their own.
