Answer

Are illegal holiday rentals a bigger issue in Palma than in other parts of Mallorca?

Palma is often at the centre of the debate because the city combines dense housing, strong tourist demand and many short-term lets. That does not mean the issue is limited to Palma, but urban districts tend to show the problem more visibly. Busy neighbourhoods also make it easier for illegal rentals to blend in and change users quickly.
