Problems on Magalluf strip
Dear Sir,
I have just returned to England after spending eight weeks at my apartment, which I have owned since 1976 in Punta Ballena. I have seen lots of changes, some for the better but most for the worse. Magalluf has a beautiful beach and I have a wonderful view over it and the sea. It used to have nice restaurants and bars and was a safe place for all ages. Now it is totally out of control. The behaviour of the clientele now is nothing short of an orgy in the street at night. The beach during the day is very much the same.
The beach attendants have to stack and secure the beds in an attempt to deter damage, broken beds, beds dumped in the sea, parasols set alight during the night. The next morning, they have to clear all the mess left behind, including the drunks who are still sleeping on the beach. The beach being lit up at night does not deter any activity, in fact one morning at 3.30am it could have been mistaken for 3.30pm because there were so many people on the beach shouting, drinking, eating take away food, cavorting naked in the sea and openly having sex in front of anyone who wanted to watch, which they did! Surely this is not the image that you want to portray of the Newly advertised upmarket Magalluf!
It is impossible to sleep at night because of the constant thudding of the music on the beach or in the street. At 11pm every night, the bar crawl is walked along the promenade chanting and shouting. It is impossible to watch your own TV or listen to your own music or even have a quiet evening on your own balcony with friends.
