Walking in Palma, and in many other towns in the Balearic Islands, has become an obstacle course. Cars are encroaching on sidewalks, blocking pedestrian access. Peatones Mallorca (Pedestrians Mallorca) recently posted a video on Instagram showing the difficulties a mother with a stroller faces trying to walk her child in her neighborhood, located around Isidre Llaurador Street. With this footage, the organization denounces this "shameful" problem, which is repeated in other neighborhoods and towns, and argues that "there are too many cars and not enough planning."

Three projects, three companies, a budget of €517,658.53, and just over three months to complete. Between now and the end of the year, the Porreres town center will undergo an improvement that will partially change its appearance in the ring formed by Agustí Font Street, the Hospital Street, the Santa Cruz Street, and the Plaza de la Vila area.

The Balearic Islands are breaking records day after day in terms of housing prices. For the first time, the price per square meter surpassed the €5,000 mark. The year-on-year increase (based on May data) was 20.9%, and a 90-square-meter apartment rose €90,000 in the last year. In addition, the islands have a significant number of luxury homes. Idealista has compiled a ranking of the most expensive streets in Spain, and the most luxurious one in the Balearic Islands is located in Andratx: Camino del Salinar. In second place is Calle Binicaubell in Palma, in the Son Vida neighborhood: both are the most exclusive streets in the islands.
