Answer

Is it common for Christmas markets in Mallorca to cause noise and neighborhood complaints?

Christmas markets in Mallorca can become controversial when they change traffic, add evening noise and increase activity in already busy areas.

Complaints usually grow when people feel they were not properly consulted.
