With anti-tourism voices active, it is especially welcome to see small, spontaneous gestures of kindness from Mallorquins.
On the first day of my current visit, I stood at the fish counter at Mercadonna supermarket while the only shopper present was being served, not realising that I should take a ticket.
A local lady took a ticket and, upon seeing that I was intended to make a purchase, handed me her ticket and took another one for herself. And, when approaching a supermarket check-out with just one or two items, locals with trolley-loads frequently invite me to go ahead of them. I still feel welcome.

This is quite normal, you shouldn't believe the lies in the gutter press in the UK.
