As a real live person with ‘views’ I am delighted that you are reading this and not some AI sanitised version. In the Soller Valley we have hundreds here enjoying holidays. Many are returners and know exactly what to expect. They have made their decisions as to whether they can afford the increase in prices this year. They have read the saturation stories and are bemused; this is not their experience of the Soller Valley today.
The story changes every day about whether the experience at the airport was good or bad. The taxi services receive praise and criticism. The hotels and restaurants have their trip advisor moments. There is no one size fits all. Visitors look to spend their holidays in their way. They have their own view of what is happening in Mallorca during their vacation.
If they read papers or follow online stories they would be forgiven for thinking that Mallorca does not currently know what to think. One day its doom and gloom and the next we are heading for the best year ever. One-minute visitors are said not to be welcome and then the posters appear assuring all that the contrary is true.
I have concluded AI is in control, and we should trust nothing but our own experience. In the Soller Valley right now the holiday vibe is great. The weather is perfect and in spite of all AI tells you the car parks have space.
Children are still building sandcastles, and the foodies are still enjoying the Soller experience. Messing about on boats still happens and there is lots of chatter in the bars and cafes. Time to open our eyes and see and experience life for ourselves in this summer of discontent. I suggest AI takes a very long holiday…
