It's summer. There's a lot of tourists (they're not all British by the way), and in one month or so it will all start to slow down. Then the MDB will find another "Majorca" fury and outrage story. Remember where you heard this.
The number of coaches that park up has increased considerably. There are only so many people the place can take. Yet there appears to be no regulation or organisation of how many coaches can rock up. This is exactly the problem some of the questions in the Alcudia tourism questionnaire were referencing. But it’s not rocket science, it’s common sense.
Tbh they’ve got a point. Leaving Alcúdia town this morning I passed 6 coaches. All the coach car parks were full - so they were dropping off. Old town completely saturated - you couldn’t swing a cat. Hideous!!! In pollensa- not a single coach. Lovely artisan market. Quiet. Music filled streets. Alcúdia is getting it soooo wrong, it’s a beautiful town, but they are selling themselves short. Cheap tatt market. Choked with coaches. Quickest way to catch Covid. And omg don’t get me started on the rubbish :(
