Do the Mallorcans really want us anymore? A question which has been posed to me on many occasions over the last few months by British residents. The simple answer is Yes but Brexit has made life more difficult for British residents and the Spanish government are not bending over backwards to help. Spain is sticking to the European Union line and is making no exceptions for the British.

Call me dim, call me a bit slow but I have just realised what "branded content" means in this esteemed organ. It means - this is an advert ie paid content and so has no space for comments because they may be negative for the advertiser. I reference : "The residential tourist brings great value to the deseasonalisation of Balearic tourism" - from a residential tourism company. It also brings increased use of green land with corresponding reduction in agricultural land Little or no integration other than local group integration into a foreign culture Houses dotting a landscape unused over large parts of the year
The 90 day rule was in place long before Brexit and has absolutely nothing to do with it. Some may be mistaking agnostics for anti-British sentiment. It's not that Brits aren't wanted, it's just that more or less Brits is somewhat inconsequential either way. It's British media that inflates Spanish dependence on Brits. And when that results in shoulder shrugs, it's interpreted as "anti-British".
