There was a protest in Alcudia some weeks ago against the excessive occupation of the public way by terraces in the old centre. In Soller, the port in particular, residents have been complaining about the same thing over the summer. In the past, there have been complaints in Bunyola because of the sheer number of cyclists who take over terraces and other public space in the main square.
Now 'massification' comes to a Mallorcan village
A resident says that it's almost impossible to walk through the square

Have to say - the locals have a point. Councils are allowing the restaurant owners to take more and more of the streets. Trying to walk through Alcúdia square is virtually mission impossible on market days. What the councils need to remember is that these type of tourists come to see ‘local, unspoilt Mallorca’. Allow these little towns to become swamped, allow too many giant restaurants and hotels… then they’ll stop coming. It’s a balance. And councils need to stop being so greedy.
