The Balearic Ports Authority and ultimately Spain's ministry for transport have ordered the forced expropriation of the club. It has to be demolished as part of the work for the redevelopment of the Paseo Marítimo.
One of the club's DJs, Sergi Ales, says that the only information he has had is that he will work there for two more weeks and that will be it. "Personally, in the more than 20 years that I have been a professional DJ, it is my favourite club. It is sad that something so mythical in Mallorca is going to be demolished."
Jaume Ballester, aka DJ Simonet, is another of the DJs. "It really is the only club on the Paseo Marítimo that is worth it and has quality tourism. It is a luxury club, with enviable facilities. It's very sad that it's closing, because more than 35 workers will go - waiters, security guards, DJs and other employees. They don't know what they're going to do now."
He believes the club could have stayed where it is. "What they want to do is an aberration."
The club's ownership says that the keys will be handed over at the end of this month. A statement reads: "We cannot express in words the degrading treatment that we have received during the last four years since we were informed of the intention to eliminate our premises from the Paseo Marítimo.
"What really matters right now are the memories we have created together ... let's make the most of the time we have left. From the bottom of our hearts, we are immensely grateful for the incredible moments we have shared."

Whatever the reason, it certainly appears unfortunate. Nonetheless, to again blame this on some imaginary anti-British sentiment sounds suspiciously desperate.
Stan The ManIt's not British, it's Mallorcan. Its up to the Mallorcans to decide its purpose.
Of course demolition of this Club. IT IS BRITISH !!! Would it be demolished if it was Spanish/Mallorcan? Has the Authority responsible for this action. Offered an alternative area for a replacement BRITISH CLUB.? I doubt that !!!.
