Tents Next to Villas: Nou Llevant Exposes the Gap Between Rich and Poor

Answer

Why are there tents next to new luxury buildings in Nou Llevant, Mallorca?

Nou Llevant shows the sharpest edge of Mallorca’s housing crisis: expensive new developments have risen on former industrial land, while some families have been pushed into tents and makeshift camps nearby. Rising rents, a shortage of social housing, and unstable work or tenancy situations all contribute to the contrast.
