Andratx was the recommendation of the Andratx Astronomical Association, and the proposal of Dragonera came from the Majorca Astronomical Observatory. These were both forwarded by the Majorca Institute of Astronomy and Astronautics.
Asteroid 185580 (Andratx) is currently in the constellation of Aquarius, while asteroid 181419 (Dragonera) is in Eridanus.
It is expected that there will be an official event to mark the naming of the asteroids. In the case of the island of Dragonera, it is the property of the Council of Majorca.

One Asteroid should be named " TOURIST ". The second named " TAX " !!!!.
Surely he'd be named after and wholly swallowed by a black hole?
What about the 3rd asteroid called Barcelo which is now hopefully heading into deep space?
