Balearic Islands quieter — Mallorca stays crowded: Why the island bucks the trend

Answer

Are Palma and other busy areas in Mallorca still affected by overcrowding?

Yes, especially in Palma and some of the island’s best-known coastal areas. The pressure shows up in traffic, parking, noise and crowded streets, and it is often more noticeable at certain times of day than in the statistics. Some neighbourhoods feel the strain much more than the island average suggests.
