Last update: 10 hours agoShort-Term Rental Crackdown (Balearics): Spain’s Balearic authorities have tightened rules on illegal holiday letting, with cease-and-desist orders now backed by daily fines of €500 to €5,000 until marketing stops, and repeat cases potentially escalated to criminal disobedience.
