On tv i saw the tourists go home and sprayed with water via water pistols- this upset me so i decided to ask people their thoughts in #alcudia old town on Market Day!!
Thanks Andrew - Unfortunately it is happening all over Spain both mainland and the islands. After 25 years of owning a property in Mallorca we're selling up. Post-Brexit, high taxes, high prices, poor weather and now the protests. Such a shame.
@@JCPhotographyMallorca there was protests at that time too... probably will be until this small minority of people get there way, which they won't! All they want to achieve is affordable housing for residents, stopping illegal lettings... I agree with that too.
@@lovinglifemallorca like you said at the end it’s all to do with the housing problems here. Defiantly never want it to go back to covid that was a horrible time.
@@lovinglifemallorca 🤣🤣 No was there last week, although I didn’t notice any “tourists go home “ activity, I did notice that the hotel wasn’t full and a lot of people were on three , four day breaks which I found unusual.
@@happybunny8704 that's a shame, you mean the tourist tax. Us residents pay that too if we stay in a hotel on the island. 3.80 a pint , 3.25 for a glass of wine, cheaper than UK.
@@kerrysmith1015 Yes the sunshine tax it was originally called unfortunately I was charged 10 euros for a gin and tonic in the hotel I was in a glass of wine was a 5
Hi Andrew love watching your channel it's brilliant we've been over to cala bona in may this year no problems with anti tourism at all been coming to Majorca for 20 years ❤
I am the a good evening from Kevin and Ivan from Manchester with us to watching a few your videos first time on the set stayed at the Belle Vue on the apartment there beaches beautiful nightlife down the stripper the evening of the little Bridge where the artist paint your face or pictures for the children give my regards from Kevin Elvis from Manchester❤❤😅😊
We’re coming to Alcudia for the first time in September and discovered your channel, thanks for your great walk about video’s, very useful, you even walked passed the hotel we’re staying at. And thanks for putting our mind at rest about these issues

My parents remember Mallorca in the 60s and early 70s (under the General)...I'm surprised such a small minority want to go back there, I guess they'd have to leave the EU to stop legal migration. It appears Portugal is regretting its digital nomad visa system with increased property and rental prices...and Mallorca's just started doing their own digital nomad visas...
The airport of Mallorca is a disaster. Organization is not efficient. Airport itself not modern. Spain should have the money to give that airport a huge upgrade. Specially with all the tourist money. Mallorca itself is great. People are ok not too nice not too rude.

Great video Andrew, we need more people like you interested in sharing truthful videos. Thanks for helping.
please can u email me as i’ve a plan to possibly work together. thanks Andrew
Reallygood Video Andrew. We live here now and its good to hear visitors reactions to all this.Thankyou.
They’ll be more interviews coming soon on different topics.
This is a great video, well done for getting out & speaking to people.
Thanks, i’m hoping to do a few more of these sort of videos..
When we were over in May there was some writing on one of the new beach bars in Alcudia saying ' Tourists go home '
Yes u have seen this sign , i ignored it.
Very interesting video and channel. It's really super expensive here, I agree with the other people mentioning this before
indeed prices have rocketed on everything,, wages don’t match.
Lovely to meet you the other evening Andrew
.ian and lydia.....mallorca has made us more than welcome in alcudia ❤
Hi, I enjoy meeting people, putting faces to names.
Thanks Andrew - Unfortunately it is happening all over Spain both mainland and the islands. After 25 years of owning a property in Mallorca we're selling up. Post-Brexit, high taxes, high prices, poor weather and now the protests. Such a shame.
That’s a shame, good luck for the next chapter of your life.
I agree Andrew, great idea... put people's minds at rest. As a resident in Mallorca for 16 years I couldnt reiterate this more x
O dear,,
Well I've seen it, everything is a complete disaster!
Hi, where did you see it?
I dont know why as i just think back to covid when there was lots of posters up saying sos tourismo. 🤷♀
That’s what i thought Jess covid was terrible and they want it back.
@@JCPhotographyMallorca there was protests at that time too... probably will be until this small minority of people get there way, which they won't! All they want to achieve is affordable housing for residents, stopping illegal lettings... I agree with that too.
@@kerrysmith1015 yes I agree with that too, yea I don’t think they will. Locals here need tourists 🙂
@@lovinglifemallorca like you said at the end it’s all to do with the housing problems here. Defiantly never want it to go back to covid that was a horrible time.
Great vlog mate
Thanks
Sorry but I would not go back .. the tax the prices it’s cheaper to go elsewhere ..
so i take it you’re not a happy bunny then?? lol

@@happybunny8704 yes everything’s changing,

Thank you for sharing we are coming Thursday see you soon🎉🎉🎉
you’re welcome.
To be honest we experienced some bad stuff from the people who live in mallorca on my holiday
That’s strange, i am sorry for you.

Hi, sounds like u had a good time.
great news, thank you.
It’s a touchy subject but needs to be solved.
Speak to the mallorquinas Andrew.

Fab info Andrew...don't believe what you see in the paper's
Thanks Chris, it upset me when i saw the news this morning and wanted to put my side forward.
@@lovinglifemallorca good on you

How true.
I’m going to alcudia in 2 weeks and I’m a little concerned despite the video and it’s too late now to change the holiday
Honestly you’ll find nothing bad here.
Hi
Andy, the media blowing it all up out of proportion as per usual ?
Yes i believe it is.
The airport of Mallorca is a disaster. Organization is not efficient. Airport itself not modern. Spain should have the money to give that airport a huge upgrade. Specially with all the tourist money. Mallorca itself is great. People are ok not too nice not too rude.
@@Anonymous-un2nj palma airport is one of the better airports... depends on your comparison. Certainly better than any UK airport I've been too.
That’s a strange thing to say, personally i think PMI is ok, needs to look at passport control to help flow people faster but that’s it.
I came though it last week waited 20 mins in the duty free queue ( it’s not duty free though most items cheaper at home)
@@happybunny8704 the video is about anti tourism protests not duty free... thats why I never buy anything.
@@kerrysmith1015 The actual comment was relating to the airport that’s why my comment was not on the main thread but in response to the comment above
Hi
