I visited one of the out of town shopping centres on Sunday; it was packed, the mixture of all the shops being open and the beautiful weather was a fantastic combination. Majorca is very lucky because shoppers are now spoilt for choice but there is a downside; it does appear that the smaller shops in the city are closing down.

The high street as a retail space as we know it is dead or dying for many sectors of retail. Many shops have the retail unit at ground level, and a few levels above with store rooms, offices etc. Repurpose these spaces as residential, and you bring more people to the town centres providing customers for the things that people do want to go into the middle of town, mostly food, and 'posh' recreational shopping. Nobody is going into town to buy a telly or a washing machine any more.
