At Palma airport, you can find a 'clever' advertisement from a car rental company that says: '<em>It’s pronounced ‘MA-YOUR-CAR</em>’’. Three weeks ago, on the facade of the complex, there was also a giant advertising banner from the German financial group Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe. It promoted Wero, an instant payment application similar to Bizum. The slogan used had a double meaning: '<em>Was auf Malle passiert, wird auf Malle beglichen</em>’ (‘what happens in Mallorca, is settled in Mallorca’). The phrase referred to the famous slogan of the US 'sin city': 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas’. ‘<em>Malle</em>’, the substitute for Vegas, is a colloquial term widely used in Germany to refer to Mallorca as an emblem of excess tourism.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>There is a simple way to understand what Mallorca is today: arrive at Palma airport and look at the advertising panels, what they show, what they sell. Also those on the island's roads, the islands'. The advertisements explain more about the Balearic economic and social model than many speeches. Advertising not only sells products, it also constructs a narrative about who we are and what place we occupy in the world.</p>]]></description>
