The British Consulate in the Balearics has noted that there has been a “significant decrease” this year in the number of incidents involving British nationals in resorts in Calvia: Magalluf, most notably.
This observation was made during a meeting between the Vice-Consul for the Balearics, Gillian Brion, the Vice-Consul for Majorca, Elaine Brannan, and the mayor of Calvia, Alfonso Rodríguez.
The meeting allowed an evaluation to be made of the season and for there to be a sharing of views as to the development of tourism in the area. There was agreement that the season has been generally free of conflict and that this has helped in improving the image of Magalluf with the British public.
A further issue that was considered at the meeting was a strengthening of ties between the town hall and the Consulate, given the importance of British tourism to Calvia and the fact that there are some 9,000 UK citizens who are permanent residents in the municipality.

That is because Magalluf was significantly quieter this summer. There are still the so called "prostitutes" on the streets at all hours. Everyone knows it is a criminal gang intent only on "theft" of mobile phones and wallets from unsuspecting tourists. Tourists do not report these thefts, but they certainly DO TELL everyone else in the hotel ... If you have your personal belongings stolen on the island, will you ever go back !!. Also, heard of many robberies at the airport this summer, where the gang are distracting the unsuspecting visitor.
