Playa de Palma alert
It is time for Palma city council to sort out Playa de Palma, the enormous holiday resort which is for the Germans what Magalluf is for the British. The resort is already in the firing line over so-called booze tourism and despite repeated calls for action and new legislation little or nothing is being done. I suspect that it will be Playa de Palma which is the spotlight and not Magalluf this year. The massive amount of investment in Magalluf has meant that it has cleaned up its image. It still has a long way to go, according to some, but it could be said that things are getting better. Meanwhile, the so-called trouble zone in Playa de Palma is far bigger. In Magalluf it is just isolated to one street, in Playa de Palma it is almost a whole neighbourhood.
