Toxic tourism — Mallorca's housing crisis – DW – 06/02/2025
Millions of tourists come to the island every year. But many Mallorcans can no longer afford the rents here. 60-year-old Begoña is a parking inspector. She and her son Hector, who works as a waiter, live in a caravan in Palma, Mallorca's capital. Their combined income of 2,500 euros isn't enough to afford an apartment. A 22-year-old medical student, Christofer lives in a stuffy basement room in Palma and pays 600 euros a month. The conditions are catastrophic: the sewage pumps are defective and it smells awful, and the power is often out. These are just 2 stories from the growing problem of Mallorca's housing shortage.
