Answer

Is Son Espanyolet in Palma still a residential neighbourhood?

Yes, Son Espanyolet is still a residential part of Palma, but it has come under pressure from high-value property deals and tourist use. Locals describe a neighbourhood where everyday life still exists, but where more houses are being traded as investment assets. That tension is what makes the area feel increasingly fragile.
