"Desolate Mallorca" is a headline in the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. A report on Wednesday by the paper's Spain and Portugal correspondent, Karin Janker, considers the situation in Mallorca, where the main engine of the economy - tourism - has suffered greatly because of the pandemic.

We are in a pandemic! What did they expect? All bars and restaurants open and beaches full as normal! They were advised not to travel by their own government,but do they listen.no!
I choose to live in Mallorca and I don't see it sinking into despair for lack of tourists. I have no doubt those who rely on the tourist industry for a livelihood have found things very difficult but it has been so peaceful without tourists carousing on balconies into the small hours plus, last year, urinating over the balcony.
The population has also sunk into despair. Mostly despair due to incompetent governance.
Desolate is German politics.... the results we can see in their daily rising Covid R numbers. They should focus more on their own countries problems which are abundant , instead of constantly focusing on tiny Mallorca.
