Welcome to North Korea, is how a senior executive of a major tour firm reacted to the new Law of Excesses which was introduced by the previous Balearic government and which curbs excessive drinking in Magalluf and Arenal. It didn't take too long for some bright sparks to organise coach tours to neighbouring resorts where the Law of Excesses is not in force. Santa Ponsa has proved very popular with Magalluf tourists this summer!
All quiet in Magalluf
“Has the law of excesses spoilt the party in Magalluf or has it been a major success? The jury is out...”

James TThey always have done. Basically because their trade is made up of well to do locals and foreign residents or part time residents. Also, many have cut back on seating due to the lack of qualified kitchen and serving staff, therefore lowering turnover but not the overall experience.
We tried to get a restaurant table last week. It was a spur of the moment thing. The first 4 restaurants we tried were all full. The higher end businesses are having a very good year!
