The Mayor of Calvia, Alfonso Rodriguez, made a landmark speech this month in which he said that we should change the tourist industry not giving so much importance to numbers; in other words fewer tourists but spending more.

I wonder if people realise that U.K. property owners are now limited to 90 days in 6 months. We would normally spend June July and September returning in November and another trip in December to do some shopping in Palma. This is no longer possible. We would like to have our six months when it suits us. EUROPEANS can spend 6 months at a time in the U.K., we would just like the same. Portugal and France have already introduced a visa to get round this. Spain needs to introduce a solution and quickly.
Hi Jason, I agree with you about Palma vs the resorts, it has to be focused on Palma. . However a week walking around the city will not be suitable for many people who would want to get out and see more of the island. How about a card/ticket/pass valid for both train companies, Soller and TIB( including the buses). This would have to be easily accessible via the web or also included with the cost of the holiday when booked. Not easy I appreciate but the key has to be ease of purchase and ease of use by people who do not speak the language. This system would encourage the expansion of the train system, to Arta and possibly to Pto Alcudia and benefit everywhere serviced by the railway. Not easy to organize but winter tourism to Palma needs more than just the city to be a viable offer. John Little
