The question people who relocate always consider, is whether they will live in a place full of the language they have left back home.
In Soller there are 13,500 residents (approx.). The last count I saw states that there are 2000 foreigners (born in a foreign country) in that number
Incomers have choice to live where they can afford, feel most welcome and works for them. Calvia appears to be preferred by many arriving from the UK.
Jason Moore of the Mallorca Bulletin says
‘There are now more foreigners living in Calvia (Palmanova, Magalluf, Santa Ponsa, Paguera, Illetas) than Mallorcans, according to a new survey released this morning. According to official figures there are 20.217 foreigners (born in a foreign country) and 20.189 Mallorcans.
Calvia has become one of the most cosmopolitan areas in the country with the majority of foreign residents being either British or German. The municipality is home to some of the most popular resorts for foreign tourists, Palmanova and Magaluf for the British and Paguera for the Germans.’
