Mallorca beach protesters announce their return
Wanting beach areas for exclusive or preferential use by residents
The Mallorca Platja Tour movement has announced that it will soon be calling for a new symbolic occupation of a beach on the island, the first this summer. "Get your towels, umbrellas, and banners ready because we will carry out another symbolic occupation of a beach in Mallorca," it was stated on social media this Friday. There is no indication yet as to which beach this might be.

LovedSoller€1000 per week Airbnb on the beachfront? That would be a charity!
It is indeed a ‘public space’ but that doesn’t address the issue. But let’s imagine a €1,000 a week AirBnB on the beachfront. That’s grossing say €35,000 a year as a conservative estimate. Let’s say it’s mortgage free best case, and so after worst case maintenance let’s say its netting €25,000 a year. At 19% tax that’s €5,000. A local earning the apparently quoted average wage of €23,000, after allowances will pay ca. €3,500 tax. So who gets more ‘right’ to use the beach? I’m not saying that this is the right answer, but just putting a perspective forward. It’s back to the “we hate tourists but they pay for most of what we have” problem.
These people don’t own the Beach ! No one can go to the Beach when they want anymore , Dream on , we live in a crowded world respect for others regardless of where the come from anyway I will stay home 🏠 with my Dog ! 🐕
