Retail on the Balearic Islands grows — but for whom?

Answer

When is the best time to shop in Mallorca if you want fewer crowds?

Shopping in Mallorca is usually busiest in the main tourist months, especially in central Palma and other high-traffic areas. If you want a calmer experience, the shoulder season is often easier, with less pressure on shops and streets. Local stores may still be open, but the atmosphere is usually less hectic than in summer.
