As millions of Britons start dreaming of their summer holiday in Mallorca, the British media, fuelled by complaints from a handful of tourists, are having a field day with what is considered some rather sobering news - the price of alcohol has gone up in Mallorca over the past few years. So much so that some newspapers have quoted British tourists who claim they will not return because the price of drinks in bars has become too expensive. Some have even gone as far as blaming Covid, which still appears to be blamed for most problems in the UK.

There is so much more to Mallorca than drinking

Mojitos? Shot of rum from a €10 bottle - 65 cents. One lime and a spoon of sugar, 30 cents. Shot of sparkling water, 5 cents. Sprig of hierba buena, free from the garden. Sunny terrace with sea view to enjoy, priceless. Ten euro, how are you!
PA copy … Sunny Beach in Bulgaria is super cheap. Loads of booze, you can balcony jump (no fines) and walk around villages in your budgies or bikinis!!! Wowza - enjoy xx
I'm impressed. But yes, it's not a good reflection on British tourism, and in fact serves as yet another validation of common British stereotypes (to the rest of the world). This is a few years old, but it's quite an unflattering reminder of all that. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/english-abroad-cmd/index.html Now we find ourselves in an "anti-tourist" meme period (theme of the day). There's some good reasons for it, but I have to suspect that without all the bad behaviours (from any nationality), the anti-tourist objections would be far more muted. Indeed, the world has changed. Get with it, or be left behind.
