Answer

What does the sale of tourist villas mean for Mallorca neighbourhoods?

The sale can reduce short-term holiday use, but it does not automatically protect a neighbourhood from speculation. In places like Son Espanyolet, homes may simply be resold at higher prices or converted into luxury housing. That can still push out long-term residents and change the social make-up of the area.
