Mallorca at the Limit: Will This Weekend Break the Visitor Maximum?

Answer

Why does Mallorca feel so crowded on summer weekends?

Mallorca gets especially busy on summer weekends because visitor numbers rise at the same time as the island's permanent population keeps growing. That puts pressure on roads, buses, the airport, ferries, shops, and beach access, especially in the warm months. The result is often more traffic, longer waits, and a noticeably busier atmosphere in central areas.
