Rental prices go mad, ‘turismophobia’ hits Mallorca (again), San Antonio street art & how important are ‘youth’ resorts?

While rental prices in the Balearics are now comparable to the most exclusive neighbourhoods in Madrid, a very direct message has appeared on the 'Osborne Bull' in the hills of Mallorca but who is behind these demonstrations & what's the solution to the continuing housing crisis in the archipelago - MARTIN & RICHIE have strong views. San Antonio has unveiled its latest creation to keep the famous West End relevant & attract a year round audience but do these areas, including Punta Ballena in Magaluf, still play an important role in tourist food chain. Lots to ponder this week on TALKING BALEARICS so please share your views on all the usual platforms.We are the only English speaking podcast covering the Balearic Islands which has a thriving expat population and had 15.3 million international tourists in 2024 including almost 4 million UK visitors.'DAD TAXI' BLOG - https://dadtaximallorca.com/RICHIE PRIOR ON INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/dad.taxi/Message me here'MAN IN SAN AN' BLOG' - https://maninsanan.com/MARTIN MAKEPEACE ON SUBSTACK - https://martinmakepeace.substack.com/MARTIN MAKEPEACE ON INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/martinmakepeace/Original music © Alex Ellenger/Martin Makepeace
