Douglas has also shown his love for Mallorca, participating in local events, such as the Festivities of the Blessedwhere he celebrated with the residents. “This island is wonderfulhas welcomed me, I used to come here to rest after filming and I ended up falling in love with the Tramontana mountains and the privacy that you give me in Mallorca,” he said.
However, the actor has not avoided addressing the hot topic of the tourist massification on the islandIn a thoughtful comment, Douglas noted that “the problem is the proliferation of Airbnb apartments combined with rental cars, and that leads to problems like water shortages. In Tramontana we are a little less used to that.”
