Answer

Is Palma becoming too crowded with selfie tourism?

Palma is seeing more visitors who come mainly to photograph the same well-known spots, and that can put pressure on streets, squares and local businesses. The concern is not just about crowding, but about how repeated photo stops affect everyday life for residents and workers in the city. The city is still very much alive, but some places are increasingly used as backdrops rather than shared public spaces.
