Protest Backlash, Record Airport Figures, Flight Carry-on Shake-up, Zara Bargains, Airbnb Falters, Mega Cruises, Serra Says Yes, Footy Fever

There's a growing backlash against anti-tourism protests, Ibiza Airport's record-breaking passenger numbers, the latest shake-up to airline carry-on baggage rules, whether Airbnb is finally losing momentum, the return of the debate over mega cruise ships, and Marcos Serra's decision to stand for another term as Mayor of San Antonio.

There's some Zara summer bargains and a look at the football fever sweeping the Balearics as fans pack bars and terraces to follow the World Cup. It's another packed episode covering the stories shaping life across the islands - from politics and tourism to shopping, travel and sport.

All this and much more on TALKING BALEARICS.

We are the only English speaking podcast covering the incredible Balearic Islands which has a thriving expat population and welcomed 19 million international tourists in 2025 including almost 4 million UK visitors.
