The Lloseta Town Council has expressed its regret that Mallorca Railway Services (SFM) has still not responded to the formal request (Exp. 91/2026) to provide night train services during the early hours of Saturday, February 14th to Sunday, February 15th, which coincided with the Carnival celebrations in the municipality. According to Javier González, Councilor for Mobility, speaking to ARA Baleares, the request was submitted in anticipation of many young people—especially minors—traveling to the town for Carnival. "We received information, through various sources, that many young people were forwarding a message via WhatsApp to go to Lloseta," he explained.

Lloseta is the cheapest municipality in the Balearic Islands to buy a second-hand home, with an average price of €2,333 per square meter (€/m²), according to Idealista. The real estate portal published a study this Tuesday analyzing data from November 2025 to identify the 20 most affordable municipalities in Spain for buying a house, none of which are in the Balearic Islands. Lloseta has the most affordable average purchase price, but it is significantly higher than the cheapest municipalities nationwide, which do not exceed €550/m². The most affordable municipality for buying a used home is located in the province of Ciudad Real (Castilla-La Mancha). Specifically, Almadén has the lowest price per square meter, with sellers in the municipality asking an average of €335 per square meter. Across the Balearic Islands, the average housing price is €5,114/m², 54% higher than in Lloseta.

Law 14/2019 on strategic industrial projects in the Balearic Islands was passed during the Pact government (in 2019) to combat total dependence on tourism, but over time it became a real sieve for large-scale solar park projects, "and little else," laments an administration technician who is asking for the year.

The People's Party (PP) won the May 2023 municipal elections in the Balearic Islands, controlling 33 of the islands' 67 municipalities. Although it governs many of them with agreements that guarantee it the mayoralty for the entire term, some municipalities have established governance agreements that provide for a shared term, such as the one between José Hila (PSIB) and Toni Noguera (MÁS) in Palma between 2015 and 2019, where a change of mayoral office was agreed upon two years ago.
