The most recent rain has once again highlighted the problems, one shop owner, Bernardí Ramon, saying that he had to close for four hours on Monday and for two hours on Saturday. "It was impossible to get down the street. In addition there was the stench."
They say that every time it rains, even if it is not particularly heavy, the drains can't cope and both Punta Ballena and Pedro Vaquer flood. Sewage flows into the street.
Ramon says that no governing administration at Calvia Town Hall has wanted to fix the situation. Complaints have been sent but there have been no responses.
"We accept that this might happen once in a while, but it is not normal that it can happen even with light rain or that it can happen twice in the same week. Throughout the season, it has happened about five times. We have contacted the Calvia 2000 company (responsible for municipal services), and it replied by saying that it was the responsibility of the town hall."

Stan The ManThat will only happen when they change the name, which i thought they had...... to Calvia beach!? Again, yet another example of disppearing money over the years which should have been spent in upgrading this kind of infrastructure.
How I wish the rain could clean up Magaluf completely. If ever an Urbanisation needs to be totally revised. Totally cleaned up in every way. Then lose its disgraceful reputation. It has to be the Worldwide notorious Town of Magaluf.
