Too much going on in Mallorca

Property prices have gone up with potential homes that may have one time been in my budget, now sadly are well out of my price range. And although a part of me still hopes that one day that one special little property will be within my grasp, would I want to live here now? Probably not but only in the sense that the island is in my opinion overpopulated now.

Gone are the days of having a lot of areas generally to yourself, now wildlife hot spots are busy, the roads are jammed with vehicles. I could drive along a country road and not see much traffic, now you spend most of your time avoiding the impatient drivers who seem to be everywhere. And dogs too. Like a lot of places now, dogs seem to be everywhere.

I even stopped going to some favourite cafes as yapping dogs left to do what they want while the owner sips away at their coffee and chats to a friend, have with the above, all made a difference in whether I stay or go. And of course, the price of food has trebled. Whilst the quality of food is second to none the prices have rocketed. As beautiful as Mallorca, its people and culture are, I think it will have to be a different destination for me unfortunately.
