Most of those municipalities are inland, in more rural areas, while the British and German continue to be the most numerous in the coastal resorts. For example, the Moroccan communities are flourishing in sa Pobla, Campanet, Felanitx and Vilafranca where there is plenty of work in the agricultural industry.

But, the Moroccans are also the predominant foreign community in Inca and Manacor.
British
The British community is the dominant one in nine municipalities while in Palma, it is the Bulgarians and in Maria de la Salut, the Ecuadorians.
