New Homes Pushback, New Smoking Laws, Cheapskate Billionaire, Public Transport Update, West End Rebrand
Description
The Balearics government's proposals to solve the housing crisis receives pushback from a new Mallorca pressure group, new smoking and vape laws come into force covering previous grey areas, Mallorca's public transport has an overhaul but is the Palma Metro still a white elephant, changing attitudes signal diminishing returns for Ibiza's bars but there's a new initiative to re-brand San Antonio's famous West End. Real Mallorca robbed, there's a TB personal rivalry in local youth football and finally a cheapskate billionaire goes viral after an unimpressive Ibiza spending spree. This is a slightly longer episode of TALKING BALEARICS because it's our 1st BIRTHDAY!
