According to a study conducted by Regio Plus Consulting on behalf of the Més party, 26.4% of Majorcans feel more Majorcan than they do Spanish, while 52.8% feel as Majorcan as they do Spanish. The co-director of the consulting firm, Jaume Garau, says that “we haven’t made distinctions between those who feel specifically Majorcan or Balearic and those who consider themselves Catalan, though it indicates that they feel more associated with here than with there”. Garau adds that “this sense of Majorca-ness or Balearic-ness is on the increase”. In fact, the 26.4% consists of 10.4% who feel themselves to be only Majorcan (or Catalan), to which are added the 16% who are more Majorcan than Spanish.
