Answer
What kind of people are most affected by high room prices in Mallorca?
Students, apprentices, young teachers and hospitality workers are among those most affected. They often need housing close to work or study, but they are also the least able to absorb steep rent increases. As a result, some delay moving to Palma, commute from other towns or stay with their parents longer.
