Answer

What was Palma like in the early years of mass tourism?

The archive images suggest a Palma that was busier and more improvised, with airport arrivals, busy cafés, and a city adapting to new kinds of visitors. You can sense the beginnings of an international holiday destination rather than a polished tourist capital. Palma today feels much more developed, but traces of that older rhythm still matter.
