PalmA tourist who came to Mallorca for her vacation posted a video on social media, surprised because Arenal (the area where she was staying) looked more like Germany than Mallorca.

The post asks if she's actually been on a trip to Spain or Germany. The tourist complains that all the establishments (bars, restaurants, shops, etc.) have German signage, serve the public in that language, and are all geared toward Germans.

She also explains, surprisingly, that the only people speaking German on the street are the German flag, that the hotel menus include German cuisine with German-speaking opening hours. The young woman claims she's come to the island to live "a Spanish experience" and that at no point has she felt like she's in Mallorca.
