Answer

What is daily life like in Palma when tourism debates heat up?

In Palma, tourism debates often feel very practical rather than abstract, because housing, traffic, jobs, and everyday costs affect residents directly. People may discuss these issues in cafés, on the Paseo Marítimo, or in neighbourhood bars, where the mood is often more tired than dramatic. The discussion is usually less about slogans and more about how to keep the city liveable.
