On social media in recent days, residents of Deya and Valldemossa have been highlighting the volume of traffic, and the mayor of Deya, Lluís Apesteguia, has added to this. On Twitter on Wednesday, he drew attention to "four kilometres of stationary cars waiting to enter Valldemossa from Palma". It's taking about 45 minutes to complete this section of road, he noted, adding "I have never seen anything like it" and calling for "immediate measures" to be taken.

This one is possibly not rocket science … AKA Operation Cloud Palma???? Tourists? Raining weather??? It’s good to analyse the data. But a little common sense?
What immediate measures exactly? Are these mostly hire cars? Who are they? What’s the purpose of their trip? No doubt locals and deliveries are caught up in it too. Is there anyone anywhere actually awake to, and working, on the impact of tourism coupled with poor transport infrastructure and absolutely no foresight or planning! Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work that one out, but the politicos here are more concerned about what the name of Real Mallorcas stadium should be!
