La masificación turística tensa la cuerda en Baleares: “Se legisla contra nosotros”
El abrumador respaldo a la manifestación de julio y la nueva movilización de este fin de semana contra la saturación refuerzan la demanda de un cambio de modelo que comparten empresarios, agentes sociales y partidos políticos
Residents of the Balearic Islands are experiencing significant frustration over the overwhelming influx of tourists, as evidenced by social media posts this summer. The term "turistification" has been associated with numerous videos showcasing extreme overcrowding in various locations. One young woman protested on social media about a bus ride from Valldemossa, a popular tourist town on Majorca, being crowded by tourists who were bypassing the queue, affecting residents like her who need reliable transportation after work.
A tourist's video captured the suffocating pressure on the entrance of Sa Calobra gorge, making it nearly impossible for locals to navigate. Cala Gat's beach saw similar chaos with people struggling to find space for umbrellas and towels. These scenes have become common in other heavily visited areas, including Caló des Moro, Formentor lighthouse, Cala Deià, and even Palma's central districts on cloudy days.
