Answer

Is Portixol in Mallorca feeling the impact of second homes?

Portixol is one of the areas where residents notice changing doorbell names and a stronger sense that some homes are used only part of the year. That can be a sign of a neighbourhood with fewer permanent residents and weaker day-to-day community life. For many locals, it is part of a wider worry about who actually gets to live in the area.
