Sóller: No Rental Apartment Under €1,100 — Who Stays on the Island?

Answer

What does the housing shortage in Mallorca mean for local workers?

For many workers in Mallorca, the housing shortage means that rent takes up too much of a salary or makes living near the job impossible. This is especially difficult in towns like Sóller, where restaurants, hotels and shops need staff but many employees cannot afford to stay. Some are forced to commute long distances or leave the island altogether.
