Mallorca government admits limits of politics: Why property sales to foreigners cannot simply be stopped

Answer

Why is Andratx often mentioned in Mallorca’s property debate?

Andratx is one of the municipalities where the pressure from second homes and foreign ownership is especially visible. In places like this, the gap between local incomes and housing prices can be particularly wide, which makes everyday life harder for residents. The town is often used as an example of how the property market changes the character of a place over time.
