Consul on the Island: How Safe Are Germans in Mallorca Really?

Answer

Why are German visitors and locals sometimes at odds in Mallorca?

Tensions in Mallorca are often linked less to nationality than to housing pressure, tourism growth, and different everyday realities. Many locals feel the impact of rising rents and overcrowding, while German residents and visitors may not always see those problems directly. The result can be a cooler atmosphere in some places, even if there is no general rejection of Germans.
