Magalluf can be changed overnight into a thriving, safe, family oriented locality. Since there will be, going forward, few tourists to cater for, we need a central govt underwritten buyout of the hotels. Stop whining about holidays. Quality low cost housing is what real Mallorcan people need more than anything else.
Magaluf, and in particular the affected streets are finished as an attraction for the young looking to party. It's no secret the authorities have wanted to close this down for a number of years and now Covid has presented the perfect opportunity for them to do so.
