Between Welcome and Wariness: Germans in Mallorca — What's Really Happening

Answer

Why do some people in Mallorca say the island feels welcoming while others feel tension?

Mallorca can feel very open and friendly to visitors, especially in places like Palma, where daily life is shaped by tourism and international residents. At the same time, some long-term residents experience pressure from rising rents, busy streets, and changing neighbourhoods, which can create frustration. Both impressions can be true at once because they come from very different everyday experiences.
