It’s very difficult to imagine that Magalluf is going to have much of a winter season and what a shame. Today may have been a bit fresh, but it was dry and sunny and the beach looked spectacular.

I think I've given some here much too much credit.
Morgan WilliamsTry being less xenophobic and more cosmopolitan Morgan. Oh and try to keep up with local news and maybe you would have known about the road and supermarket closure. Expats who don't integrate are just annoying.
For years now, we've been warned that inconveniencing Brits or making it "not cheap" for Brits would lead to the island's impoverishment. And like clockwork, every September, we're warned that bookings for the autumn and winter are dropping like rocks compared to summer (presumably due to notorious anti-brit restrictions) and looks to be a very tough year. 2022 was predicted to be the year it all came crashing down. Earlier this year, Turkey was set to "knock the stuffing out of Majorca" because it's supposedly dirt cheap ... Yet these warnings are always ignored. Now, as you can see, it's happened. The place is now a ghost town. Obviously the island must be impoverished again. You'd think they'd learn by now. Tuesday, I tried to go to the supermarket, but it was some kind of foreigner holiday with some sort of big cycling event, and they had the audacity to shut some roads down, so after having to sit in traffic, I had to navigate through crowds, turn around and drive around it. And then the supermarket was closed. How do they expect to attract *proper* winter tourists when it's become an expensive shut down ghost town, full of self-centered foreigners causing traffic and passport control jams? And not one open English pub to be found (much needed after such inconveniences). You couldn't make it up. I'm not here to make trouble - I'm British🇬🇧
Morgan Williams, are you just an idiot or here to make trouble.
How I wish the reputation of Magaluf could be changed from total disgusting sex,drugs,prostitution, mugging etc. Seeing it empty and clean is most welcome. To change its bad reputation this coming year would be tremendous for Mallorca. I suppose I must keep on dreaming.
OMG!!! No wonder the island is impoverished. How could this happen? I reckon it's the bans on pub crawls, cheap beer, all inclusive, public sex, British driving licences, add to that tourist tax and passport control. Just as warned, it all came crashing down. Apparently, it's over. Is the Magaluf airport even open anymore?
