Answer

Could moving to mainland Spain be a realistic alternative for families in Mallorca looking for cheaper housing?

Yes, for some families in Mallorca it can be a realistic option if housing costs and job security matter more than island life. Small villages on the mainland sometimes offer rent-free accommodation and a stable job to attract new residents. These arrangements are usually aimed at families willing to settle in a quieter, more remote place and take part in local community life.
