I'm surprised there's that many Americans tbh, I wouldn't have thought it would be on their radar, I think of Mallorca as a package holiday destination for Western Europeans.

The tourism figures were for the totality of visitors to Spain, not to Mallorca specifically.

Ahhh ok that makes more sense. They probably tend to go to Madrid, Barcelona, Granada etc.
