I’m sick to dying of studying on social media that Mallorca now not needs British vacationers. Some have even mentioned that they now not really feel welcome on the island.

On Sunday my sister, who lives in England, requested me if Mallorca had been caught up within the anti-tourism protests within the Canary Islands. This is likely one of the the reason why the festivities to mark Saint George are going down in Palmanova this week; to make English vacationers really feel welcome and to thank them for all their help over time.

A transparent message; thanks for letting us deal with your cherish summer time holidays. I hope the message has been acquired loud and clear. Not solely is Calvia council thanking English vacationers they’re additionally organising a week-long celebration.

Like everybody else I used to be moderately shocked by what is going on within the Canary Islands, it doesn’t give Spain picture. Now, I can perceive a few of their factors and claims which the protesters are making. Sure, they’re struggling due to excessive rents and overcrowding however that isn’t actually the fault of the vacationers. That’s the fault of politicians who’ve inspired mass tourism and failed to offer a housing plan that caters for low-income employees.

Don’t chew the hand that feeds you – that is my recommendation to these within the Canary Islands who’ve been busy protesting. Vacationers need to really feel at house and welcomed and full marks to Calvia for pushing this level house. A vacationer, a buddy.
