Answer

How bad is the housing crisis in Mallorca right now?

Mallorca’s housing crisis is no longer a marginal issue and affects people across the island, especially in high-demand areas like Palma. High rents, limited social housing, and unstable short-term arrangements are leaving some residents without secure accommodation. In some places, that pressure is visible in tent camps and caravan living.
