I visited Mallorca in the last 10yrs twelve times, and will do again next week. I have my racebike and cycle many hours per day - visiting the off-tourist tracks mostly. All people I meet are nice and genuinly friendly. My conclusion is: visit Mallorca outside July/August, don’t drink/party ridiculously and try to understand the islanders. Perfect vacantion is then guaranteed on this magnificent island.

Although I've stopped visiting Mallorca I keep checking on here to see what's happening. Not much has changed. I have visited mainland Spain 3 times in the last 6 months and I am going to Nerja in a few weeks and Italy in August. I definitely got the idea that I was no longer welcome in Mallorca. But that is what the Isladers want and who are we to say they're wrong. They will still receive tourists in their droves. However the ones that will not see visiting the island will be the older cash rich people who have been visiting the island for 30 years. The tourists they will get will be the all inclusive type who spend very little outside the hotels. Mallorca is beautiful and I will cherish my memories of many holidays there but I will be spreading my hard earned cash around. All the best to Arran. I truly hope you get the ideal island you strive for in the future. I really mean that. They may be young now but it's their future they are fighting for!

Tom, do my comments sound like those of a person who gets behind Katie'evil' Hopkins or the Daily Mail?

Seriously this is such rubbish. Fed up with the wailing from mallorca...too many people on the island. You suffer 6 months a year we have 12 months in the UK too many people, traffic jams. Write about something more stimulating.

Does no one have a sense of humour that reads this daily rag?? I'd love to see you all go live on National TV with all your comments. But it's so easy for you all to hide behind. They should call it Cowards Comments.

Laurie. That's your typical stereotype brit on his hols.... As tha any bisto??

What the hell is that in the middle right of the picture?!?

And half of them are women

Your obviously sad enough to read the daily mail all about Katie Hopkins whoever she is so I think Its you that needs to get out and have a coffee ,

I am amazed how Mark has managed to bring in yet his false Daily Mail/Katie Hopkins view of the UK in a story about Mallorca's population?Mark, if you are in Mallorca, Its a lovely day outside, go take a nice walk have a coffee in a square and watch the world go by...its not that bad a place
