Answer

What are the signs that a Mallorca apartment building may be used for short-term tourism?

Common signs include frequent suitcase traffic, a steady stream of unfamiliar visitors, and short stays rather than long-term tenancies. Changes to entrances, balconies or shared areas can also raise concerns if the building no longer feels like a normal residential block. In Mallorca, neighbours often notice the pattern first because they see the daily comings and goings.
