Balearic service sales fall as rest of Spain grows

Mallorca is part of Spain’s only region where service-sector sales fall in August: turnover across the Balearic Islands drops 0.3% from August 2025. Across Spain, sales rise 6%. Spain’s National Statistics Institute published the figures on Friday, 16 October 2026.
