Freedom and abuse: these are two of the words used by witnesses who have spoken about their relationship with cars. The Balearic Islands have approximately one vehicle for each of their 1,231,768 inhabitants (cars, motorcycles, vans, etc.), a ratio that reaches 1.1 in Mallorca. The authorities are pushing to limit the entry of rental vehicles, but experts are calling for bolder action: without measures that affect residents and, therefore, the votes that political parties will receive in elections, there will be no real change.
