- In this video, we will be talking about the worrying news of the NEW anti-tourism saturation protest soon to be taking place in Mallorca, Spain.
I have also received messages over the past couple of days from worried holidaymakers who are coming to Mallorca on holiday as to whether events in Barcelona will be replicated in their Mallorca holiday.
I will talk about this issue, and then show you what the resorts are really like as we walk through Magaluf and Palmanova.
How will you be affected by the protest? Find out here.

Locals and local Councils and Governments accepting massive amounts of money from tourism for DECADES , why were they not building homes for locals ? Isn't the problem not greedy local businesses, greedy councils and government mismanaging the huge profits and not reinvesting. Maybe the anger is being directed to the wrong people. ????
My thoughts exactly
@@soundssimple1 But the problems have only arisen since companies like AirBnB have sprung up like mushrooms. It is certainly a mistake for governments to allow this type of rental, or they would have to tax it much more heavily to make it unattractive.
@@JG-dr8lhThe Democrats have started implementing quite stricter regulations in New York regarding Air B&B Short Term Lets, apparently there is a shortage of properties for residents to rent there.
@JG-dr8lh exactly the same issue everywhere, I live in a seaside town in the UK and every other property is an air BnB! The locals have been priced out of the area or worse, made homeless. You don't see us screeching and spitting at holiday makers visiting our area. The footage I've seen is terrible. The Spanish aren't the only ones living through this but they are the only ones personally attacking tourists.
Exactly correct 🎉 they should be taking their anger and frustration out on their government!
We're just back from Majorca. Only sign we saw of any protest was a poster hanging from a window in Alcudia. What do the residents think will happen if they're successful in curbing tourism? Jobs will go, businesses will close. We went to Alcudia on market day, and yes it was absolutely mobbed, but businesses seemed to be happy to welcome tourists. Same in Pollensa.
You see one poster - this isn’t mass opinion !
@@MallorcaUnderTheSunthere was one in port de soller and I saw some in palma. Even if it is one why aren't they being rold to take them down?
Spain ranks third after Italy and Greece when it comes to illegal immigration. All these people must be housed by governments until processed, leading to an unprecedented shortage of accommodation all over Europe. Couple this with a massive surge in tourism since covid and we have the perfect storm .
Thanks Alex for your very fair and honest evaluation of the situation in Mallorca . There really is no need for people cancelling holidays because of what they read in the gutter press .
Thanks George!
It's not the gutter press as you call it , I seen for myself how the protesters were squirting water at people while they were sitting down eating food at local restaurants, they were not drunk or causing a scene, and as someone as already said the immigrants need to be housed which has a knock on effect of rising prices , but if they don't want to make money from tourism then people should go elsewhere
good pont but they wont protest against an influx of illegals as they dont like to be seen as nationalists but are more than happy to march against other foreigners who spend money and go home unlike asylum seekers,so the spanish people are confused
I am just back from Mallorca and I had amazing time I love this place it's just perfect. Beaches are extremely busy on Sundays make sure you get there 9:30 for sunbed. There were no protests, people want tourists. Taxi driver told me no tourist no eat.
Mallorca is a Dump
Wonderful to see you every day Alex. No one likes negative news especially when your weather is so beautiful. Thank you.
Hey everyone… I have just returned from Paguera, Mallorca. I didn’t see anything anti-tourist when I was there. We visited many shops, restaurants and went on excursions. Everything was perfect. We were not mistreated by anybody. Have a safe and beautiful vacation this summer 😊
I am thinking of going to Paguera next week. Any recommendations please?
@@Sherry78. You won’t be welcomed . 😢
@@Sherry78 hi sherry, I would highly recommend eating at El Galeon, located close to the vibra hotel, the paellas are amazing. Definitely go on one of the boat excursions. Seeing Mallorca from the water is gorgeous. Especially when you get into those clear blue waters.
@@phillipcarter8045 absolute rubbish! Why do you say that? 🙄
We been coming every year for 25 years but not bothering again. Time for a change after seeing the protests. Cant blame them. Its there country. Il go somewhere thats not so saturated
Here's a thing....stop buying newspapers and watching the news...always trying to grab headlines with over exaggerated crap. Free your minds folks.
Just had a week in palma nova , no problems and very welcoming. Good people.
Cancelled going this year. Going to Crete. Friends there few weeks ago and they love tourists. So am giving them my money.
Hi Alex we were at magaluf today. Started on the West of the beach where local police were removing sellers from the beach.
Very good police presence.
Great info as always.
We very grateful that you tell it as it is.Thank you.
Thanks for the update Alex. You are the voice of reason. I stopped buying newspapers and watching the mainstream news a long time ago. Don't believe a word they say anymore. Looking forward to my trip in a few weeks at the Son Matias.
Why didn't you holiday in UK, support your own
@@brianboeing9799 Easy answer, the weather here is 💩. Also I holidayed in Blackpool back in April so I did support the UK.
stop the airbnb and the problem will go away if not there will not be anyone to work in tourism
It’s not so simple. There will always be a supply and demand on the black market. Also Spain’s squatters rights means landlords don’t want to rent long term when they can lose their property to squatters and many properties are bought up by Northern Europeans that have more money than locals on low salaries. And why is Mallorca building more hotels if there is no housing for workers?
Just got back from mallorca had an amazing 11 days no protests and made to feel very welcomed by the local people
Love this place will always holiday there ❤
So kind of you to use your time and efforts to bring this well made video to us Alex. Social media has a lot to answer for
Thanks Tommy!
Im bringing my family over from glasgow for our 1st ever holiday abroad i did hav 2nd thoughts while listening to uk media but thanks to you and your viewers advice we are all now really excited and we arrive next week
I hope you had a great time !
We’re coming over on the 19th staying in Torrenova, so I appreciate the heads up on the protest in Palma. We’ll just avoid it that day and go ahead and enjoy our holiday there like we always do. Looking forward to it!
Don't worry, most people really appreciate your videos filled with relevant information.
I am taking my family for 9 days in July 2024 and we are looking forward to our holiday together 😊.
Thank you for what you do x
Very good update Alex. My experience from last month was I felt very welcome. Best wishes, John
Thank you for all the anti tourism updates. We live in Edinburgh and we could also protest in the same way for the same reasons- affordable housing etc but we wouldn’t dream of it. Unfortunately tourism is such a large part of Mallorca economy. We have come to Mallorca for over 10 years but I do feel that this year might be our last - I do appreciate that media can glorify the situation but it can feel unwelcoming considering we are only tourists and spending our well earned money. Thanks again for the updates.
I totally understand
We have been coming to Magalluf for 26 years, many times twice a year. Came in May for 12 nights and coming again in October. Made many friends over the years with local bars and hotel staff. We will still keep coming whilst our health allows.
That's the problem people are going on 3 or 4 holidays a year and buying homes and the locals can't conpete.
Thanks for the insight. It's especially important when you are bringing children with you to know what it's really like on the ground, and not on a page in the papers. Keep it coming.
Hi Alex, i’ve been having loads of emails/messages as well, lots of worried people.. i hope between the two of us we’ve put minds at rest.
Had tens in sa coma a month ago, had a great time and know issues at all,really enjoyed it. Hoping to go back shortly if we are welcome, if not will go to Portugal.
You are welcome!
Thanks for this info Alex. We are coming there in Magaluf this friday. Hope to bump at you 😊
I was over on the island end of May early June. I did not see any anti tourist protests and as per my usual visit I was made to feel welcome. I understand the people who live on the island wanting to protest, but it has not put me off coming back to island and I will be back next year.
So glad to hear this. Never thought about visiting Majorca until I watched your channel and now it’ll be our third time in august 😊
Fantastic Amy ! Have an amazing time !
Thanks Alex , we’re coming to Palmanova on Sunday and your videos have been amazing to prepare- definately going to book the Olive Tree
The UK gutter press.
We had them outside our Palma townhouse; around 70 of them with a brass band. All very jolly and very loud. All they did was stick lots and lots of ‘this used to be a home’ stickers over next door’s estate agents and the other side architects office. No stickers on our doors at all.
Where was this exactly ?
Gosh looks very quiet where you are ! We are just back from alcudia , had a great time , everyone friendly , no change from our usual yearly visit . Do not worry . Too much hype and bad speculation!
Was in Palmanova last weekend for 3 nights with the wife had a lovely time stayed in Palmanova Gardens 😊 will be back
Well done for warning people to avoid Plaza Espana and surrounding areas on the 21st. People do need to know. It´s not toxic to tell the truth! It´s unfortunate that nothing is being done regarding affordable housing for locals and residents.
It is - real action needs to be taken - let’s see hey
Where ever you go whether abroad or in england you get all this that going off everywhere. Wont stop me coming majorca i luv it. I been home since mid may and i miss it.
alex ive suggested to a few mallorca fb pages to come and sub here, solid advice here 🙂
Thank you so much 🤗
As I’ve said before, the Spanish people should be venting their anger toward the politicians, local councils who approve certain things and people who are buying up properties to put on air bnb as holiday rentals and not the people who are putting money into the Spanish economy in my opinion.
Thks for the update Alex terrible behaviour for throwing water 👍👍
Your content is invaluable for us tourists especially the truth surrounding the protests. All the bad press wont do the people there any good with their campaign for responsible tourism. Seeing the different places in Mallorca is a great guide when looking for next years holiday. Keep up the good work Alex and I hope to bump into you when I'm in cala millor on 21st July.
No tourists, no jobs no jobs no wages no wages then you won’t be able to live on the island and you will have to leave and move to the mainland. Then the island will start to degenerate and then even those with money will not want to live there. But if that’s what they want then so be it. We are coming in October but this may be our last time as there are many lovely places we can go,Greece or Portugal just to name two. I would rather give my money to those who want us rather than to those who don’t. Such a shame really.
Go somewhere else! You clearly don't understand why we are protesting
@@rikvandokYou are correct. I've stopped cycling in Puerto Pollensa after 20 years. It was a beautiful place, not it's just a race track for hordss of fat idiots in lycra. Many idiots will walk around old Pollensa and just stare into locals home like demented sheep. Many of them Brits. No respect and no appreciation that these are people's home. I'm finished with it. Social media hasn't helped. Sheep declaring that somewhere is wonderful when they have destroyed it - and so more flood in, They have destroyed the place as a pleasant location and i can't imagine what it must be like for people living there.. Good luck to.
Simplistic drivel.
We left on the 27 th June.Have they sorted the sunbeds and umbrellas out in Puerto Pollenca.
Maybe protest against your MPs not paying tourists. As someone who visits twice a year every year and spends alot of money on this island I now do not not feel comfortable coming. I hope when you have driven all the tourists out you are happy with the decision.
Please ignore the hate, which I know you will. Since we have booked out 1st ever family holiday, around 15 months ago, we have been following your channel. We love the content, good or bad. Your doing it well and we feel informed from your content. So goal achieved I believe. Mallorca in October here we come
I travelled to Majorca last year for the first time in 15 years. To be honest I was shocked at the state of it. Away from the tourist areas there doesn’t seem to have been any investment what so ever to the infrastructure, housing etc. I was quite shocked. Nothing has changed. Majorca must be very rich from tourism, but it looks dilapidated. Not sure about visiting again.
Hello Alex. Some of the comments here refer to UK media.
But this news has been reported also in mainland Europe. Indeed Germany's respectable DW covered it.
They'll be crying when they ain't got jobs..... we are going to go to the counter protest. 'Tourists on Tour'!
I don't find your videos toxic at all! We're coming to Alcudia for 10 nights in a couple of weeks and I've watched heaps of them since I booked our holiday a few months ago. They're so informative and I'd much rather a realistic overview of where we're bringing our young family on holiday, than a sugar coated version. Your video on your nightmare Ryanair flight last year was very relevant for us as we have an evening flight booked with them and I hadn't really considered that it might be rowdy 🤦🏼♀️ At least I can prepare for the possibility now! 😂
Thanks so much - I’m glad they’ve helped !
Thanks Alex. The Mallorca Bulletin is just as bad if not worse.
My family and I just returned from Mallorca, after spending 10 days. We did not encounter any anti tourism sentiment at any time. We were based in Sineu, we did day trips to Alcudia, Can Picafort, Port De Pollensa, Santanyi, Cala D'Or and Palma. had a perfectly good time
Mallorca is an amazing place to be at. I can in some way understand how the people on Mallorca feels. But most of us in northern Europe wants to go to a sunny place sometimes during a lifetime. I always thought it was a win win situation. We got vacation and they got a job. But if they dont want us in Spain we will stop. Hopefully we can travel to Greece and the Greek island instead. In Greece you have amazing people, great food, sunny weather and warm bath😁👍.
We are going to Greece next time🌞✌️
We have just returned from cala D'or and it was great, we normally would be excited to start looking at booking next years holiday in Spain, but hearing all this bad news about what the Spanish think about British tourists I am not interested in thinking of going on holiday in Spain next year, and I doubt I will be the only one, I do think the Spanish are going to regret their actions when 2025 gets here .
Just got back and had some not so nice customer service on a couple of occasions. Didn’t feel very welcome at all. One lady was so rude and shouted at me just for asking for some help using a machine in the casino.
Maybe she'd just had a bad day?!
Still no excuse though
@@tracyevans5639 even on a bad day you should never treat another human the way she did. I was so taken aback, astounded! It was honestly shocking!
Watching this from Cairns in Far north Queensland Australia.I havnt been to Majorca since I was a kid but I have amazing memories of the Island.Many decades have passed since then and no doubt the island is far more developed.Nice to see the vibe is still friendly and relaxed.!
Wow! Can't believe you're watching in Cairns! I visited in the mid 1990s! Thanks so much for watching!
The water and sewage infrastructure in Majorca during the Summer must be struggling a bit.
Ours is perfect here, no issues apart from the most expensive water in the UK, turds in the sea, brown water in the river and still boiling drinking and washing-up water. We don't know when we are well off.
Love watching your channel to catch up with what's going on just came back last Saturday looking to coming again soon x
There is one problem that exists is that if you send a post card from a holiday resort in Spain it never gets posted back to the UK i have been in the Costa's quite a lot three times in the last 5 years and they never get sent to any UK destination. So don't send post cards back. Thanx Alex.
Oh that’s not good at all - thanks for letting me know !
I wonder if the anger towards tourists will increase once the schools have finished and lots of families are on holiday in Spain?
How would you like it if it's school holidays and the locals can't get on the beach for fighting tourists
@@Ciara.Higgins-xz9im obviously I would hate it. My ex is from Palma, so I am very familiar with the situation. He now lives in the UK because he can't afford to live in Mallorca. But, he said the island would be in trouble if it wasn't for tourism, it's just the amount that are going over.
Flight on beaches ??? There is loads of room in Magaluf and palmanova !
@@Michelle-72 thank god someone who knows what the protests are about, unaffordable living, not tourist's. Thankyou
Great video Alex thank you we are in Porto colom we arrived yesterday and it is just fabulous we are made very welcome
April I’m wishing you a lovely holiday - I’m sorry I couldn’t get out there to film but I would love you to let me know how your holiday goes !
I'm going on 22nd July to Palma Nova. Not worried in the slightest, but then again i dont watch BBC news or read the papers
I trust a voice on the ground, such/ as yours, Alex, over MSM clickbait
Hello Alex, we have just returned home to Bath UK on 11th July after staying at hotel Comodoro on Son Maties beach for two weeks and we can say that we couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. Not our usual holiday time but we were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. I agree with your advice about the possibility of thefts on the beaches in a previous video (this can happen anywhere) so just be aware and try to not take anything to the beach you can't do without, leave it in the hotel safe. Just another thing I would like to mention is how quick and easy the passport check and stamp is for UK tourists at Palma airport, in and out. It was very busy but It was so much better than last time we came. We hope to be back in September. Best wishes, Richard and Becky.
So lovely to hear this and a huge congratulations on your wedding anniversary! That’s just wonderful 🤗
Well said Alex , some people like to hide the truth,... but you always endeavour to tell us the facts as they happen daily. 👍
Thank you !
I’m there from the 15th I just hoping to see some sunshine ☀ as the sun has been none existent in the NW of England for the past 4 months.
Those protests mainly seem to be in Spain and Italy although Italy seems pretty much restricted to Venice and I haven't read about places like Rome and Florence having them.With Spain it seems much more widespread.
god bang on the day after I arrive. is there any of this in Santa Ponsa?
You're doing a fantastic job 🎉 you're time ,you're honesty, thank you ❤
You’re welcome !
Love these videos, more protests vids pls, you explain everything very well & was in Mallorca in 2022 had great time. I will definitely come back regardless you just have to use your brain & everything will be fine. The trolls are priceless comedy 😂
They are - I’ve stopped removing the comments now! 😂
Hi, We were going to book to go to Mallorca but went to Cyprus instead due to the present situation, what will happen if tourists start to boycott places and spend their money elsewhere ? Surely it would devistate the economy !!!!. By the way Great channel 🙂
@@1960JB We have done same…booked holiday in Greece..£3000 not going into Mallorcan revenue stream. Vote with your feet and walk away.
Don’t worry too much about going to Alcudia in October it will be mostly closed 🙈🙈🙈
Thanks for the update Alex . 👍☀️
Just came back from Playa De Muro and whilst I didn't see any protests or anything, but I did feel on edge just incase it did kick off. And we did want to visit Palma for the day but decided against it due to the protests. Love the island but we wont be bothering with Spain or any Spanish islands for a while now! Will be heading off to Greece/Cyprus for the foreseeable.
Nothing is kicking off and what a shame you missed Palma. Of course I’ll give the heads up of any protests so really nothing to worry about
Just got back from Alcudia. Felt very welcome there, even by the mosquitos 😂 no hate towards tourists whatsoever. Took a trip to Palma, same there. Everyone friendly 😊
fantastic!
Hi Alex we land in Mallorca on the 21 of July how bad will it be trying to get out of the airport or does the protest not effect around that area
Yo soy mallorquín y la verdad en verano todas las playas y pueblos mas carreteras están saturadas de turistas no podemos vivir en nuestra hermosa linda tranquilos 😭😭😭
Two different things...unless you're there!
I’m coming in two weeks with my daughter to Calas de majorca, hopefully we have a lovely uninterrupted holiday as I have been planning this for two years now and I’m naturally an anxious person but this news is making it worse. 😭
Did you watch the video ? Please let me know your experience in CDM - I am sure it will be nothing but positive !
You will have a lovely time, tourist's are welcome. Please don't worry
Have a great holiday 🎉😊
We fly to Cala de Majorca on 18th July. Can’t wait don’t let this make you anxious. It’s like reading too many of those trip advisor reviews. Getting somewhere and then realising you have to take opinions with a pinch of salt. Enjoy your holiday I’m sure we will.
I was at the Globales Santa Lucia last week. We didn’t notice anything bad but we did notice a heavier police presence which made us feel safe. Unfortunately a lot of people won’t choose to visit Spain now for their holidays as there are many other countries that will welcome tourism
Spain and Mallorca welcome tourist's it's not about tourist's. I wish the press would report the truth, perhaps speak to the actual protesters and get their perspective on this
@@tracyevans5639if it's not about tourists why are their plaquards, chants and graffiti saying just this? We aren't stupid we have ears and eyes....we can see what they are doing. Maybe you should speak to those saying all that!
The more you try to put a positive spin on these issues the more it puts me off even cosidering Mallorca again Been quite a few times but think for me its had its day
Even the fact that lucals are wanting less tourists is enough for me to stand by them and give them my support by not coming to their island.
The diffrence between you alex and the national newspapers and main media is that you will tell the truth.
😂😂😂😂 had bad day today, if you believe her your nuts
I appreciate this. Update. Be there in mid October as well
Came back from a week stay in Playa d Palma had a great time in a mainly German resort but certainly won’t be in a rush to come back as we found it much more expensive than the Canaries.
Thats why Germans are there, they have money, Brits are mostly poor.
I dread to think what's gonna happen this weekend between drunk british tourists and spanish locals since the Euro final is now gonna be Spain vs England.. hopefully it doesn't add more fuel to the fire in this situation
When we were over there once, I wore a Spanish football top for a Spanish game, and all the locals loved it 👏 😂
Nothing happened
Well done Alex telling it how it is. The only thing I get upset about is I want to be back there It’s horrible to wait another year. I know I only got back 2 weeks ago but made lovely new friendships Met this lovely lady my age showed me around Palma and ged lovely boat. Best wishes x❤
i am going to Mallorca in august 18th for a week, everyone keeps saying to cancell the trip, so i am now looking for information on the protest
have you seen this video - infact I have lots of content so you can see what the island is like. It's fine. th-cam.com/video/WostVjSllNU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Alex, for the commentary.
I would reiterate that the locals are lovely here, I’ve had no bad experiences in 2 weeks in Paguera.
I do make an effort to speak the language and ensure my behaviour is appropriate.
My coach passed through Magaluf at night and I have to say I was embarrassed by the behaviour of some in Magaluf
Thanks for the great info. What's the name of these beaches you showed? I couldn't quite catch it when you were speaking
I caught it towards the end. PALMANOVA. thank you
Started on Magaluf beach, and went through Palmanova beaches!
And why were the police allowing it?
Why not? entitled to protest.
I felt that in the airport that it was much more anti tourist vibes the staff where so rude especially as us being in a part with disabled
Sorry to hear this 🤗
Thanks for another balanced report and for letting us know about the protest next week.
Small minority of protesters jumping on the anti tourism band wagon. Mallorcan's wants tourist's, had a wonderful wk in June and very much looking forward to coming back for a month in September. Thanks Alex
Ive been going Alcudia for over 25 yrs love it but all i can say is they welcome you with open arms without us tourists what would they have its the tourists who go in their bars shops restaurants and spend our hard earned money i love going but i can understand
Most people can't afford to go on holiday had the worst government for 14 years aren't some people so stupid
its starting to worrying me at the moment. will soon be there
If I were you, I would be a lot more worried about the uncontrolled influx of undocumented people arriving on blighty’s south coast.
We will be coming over in early October, I am definitely not worried and looking forward to it 😁
Hi Alexandra. Could you make a video from Viva Sunrise in Alcudia and from the area around viva Sunrise.
I will do some more hotel reviews but limited to how much I can film if I’m not staying there
No...not acceptable. If they don't want us, I am not going. I was in Santa Ponsa last year and to be honest I will not be going back. Not a nice place to stay.
I can’t understand how you can that about Santa Ponsa. It a beautiful resort and very friendly towards tourist’s.
@@user-sw7nq3rz7i They are friendly but the place is tired, and lacking in decent restaurants. Too many groups of drunken youngsters for me. We also saw drugs being dealt, and drug deliveries to local cafe/bars to individuals sitting at tables alone. Perhaps I am just too old.
Wow that’s not good at all Steve
I wish we could have this kind of protest in the uk …..
Was planning on visiting in august, was really looking forward to it , but with all this I’m now leaning towards my all time favourite place IBIZA 💥🎼💥
Maybe next year now for Mallorca / Majorca 🤔
Just back fro a week in a beautiful area between Soller and the Port. It was very busy in both towns with tourists and cars - parking very difficult. All bars were busy and restaurants needed to be booked. I saw no hostility towards tourists and the staff at our hotel seemed unaware of any problems. Palma was a disappointment, having visited the island about 15 times, i have never before seen the makeshift arrangement of tents and people living in cars on the outskirts and a huge number of tourists, some obviously from a cruise ship in the harbour. I will go back to Mallorca i just hope Mallorcans realise that without us, they may just struggle.....dont bite the hand that feeds you
I was in Mallorca about 1.5 weeks ago.
Was nice .
Got a little busy at the weekend
But we enjoyed it....
And I hate crowds.
Great Channel, we stopped off on a cruise two days ago and visited Soller via the train and spent 300 euros in total on our day stop off . Don't the protesting Spanish want our money in the local economy.
