Magaluf U-turns on anti-party policies and makes desperate plea to UK tourists

The Spanish island resort of Magaluf, a well-known party hotspot in the Balearic Islands, has scaled back its stringent laws intended to combat excessive partying and binge-drinking, sparking concerns that tourists might give the location a miss.

"The socialists want to maintain the stigmatisation of bars, restaurants and supermarkets, causing a large area to be harmed. The socialists want the just to pay for the sinners." "The last tourist seasons have been successful, both 2022 and 2023, and I fear that modifying this zoning could send a message in the opposite direction to the one we were heading in."

The modifications include fines of up to £1,300 for tourists caught street drinking and forced night-time closures of shops selling alcohol. The PSOE party - which introduced the decree in 2020 - are now in opposition at Calvia town hall as they are in the Balearic parliament, Majorca Daily Bulletin reported.
