Answer

Can local workers still afford to rent in Mallorca?

For many local workers, renting in Mallorca has become difficult, especially in lower- and middle-paid jobs such as care, hospitality, retail, and construction. A flat may look normal on paper, but once deposit, utilities, and living costs are added, the monthly burden can be too high. That is why many residents are being priced out of the areas where they work.
