Set apart from the mainland, Mallorca and the sister islands have fortunately been protected from the rapid out-break of this pandemic by the sheer distance provided by the Mediterranean. Thankfully, the virus has not been able to spread like in Spain’s major cities, such as Madrid or Barcelona and the few mortality cases on the island (4 in all so far) were down to unfortunate previous health problems.
The natural protection that the Mallorca’s position surrounded by the sea enjoys, and the ease with which all islands have been able to implement a lockdown, which incidentally has been welcomed by all residents, are safe-guarding the inhabitants. Many owners of properties for sale in Mallorca are extremely grateful to be here on the island where they feel much safer, than in their home countries.
