Tourism's hidden price: Mallorca's housing crisis | DW Documentary

The Spanish island of Mallorca is a popular holiday destination. But short term rentals and rising property prices are forcing more and more locals out of their neighborhoods. Millions of tourists come to the island every year. But many Mallorcans can no longer afford the rents here. 60-year-old Begoña is a parking inspector. She and her son Hector, who works as a waiter, live in a caravan in Palma, Mallorca’s capital. Their combined income of 2,500 euros isn’t enough to afford an apartment.
