When Villages Become Seasonal Backdrops: Why Second Homes Dominate in Mallorca

Answer

Why are the Tramuntana villages in Mallorca especially affected by second homes?

That can leave the villages with very different rhythms in summer and winter, and with fewer year-round neighbours than their appearance suggests.
