Balearic Islands surpass 20-million mark: What the statistics hide

Answer

Is Palma affected more than other parts of Mallorca by cruise tourism?

Palma is one of the places where cruise tourism is most visible because ships arrive close to the city centre and passengers head straight into the historic area. That creates a strong but concentrated burst of activity in the morning and early afternoon. Other towns can feel the effect too, but Palma is usually where it is most obvious.
