Mayor Juan Antonio Amengual told the Bulletin at the Fitur fair in Madrid that the number of reported crimes in Calvia over the last 12 months had fallen by 75 percent. Since coming into office two years ago the Mayor has spent heavily on giving police in the municipality additional resources.
The icing on the cake will be a fleet of drones controlled from a specialist police vehicle. It is one of the first times in Mallorca that drones have been used in this way. The Mayor said that the days of unruly behaviour by tourists in Magalluf were rapidly coming to an end.
The council is spending heavily on the resort including the new Magalluf promenade. Magalluf will be hosting the annual convention of the Association of British Travel Agents in October.
More than 500 British travel agents are expected to attend from across the United Kingdom. The council believes that this is a golden opportunity to promote the new look Magalluf…drones and all.

They really want the British in Spain don’t they! Fingerprinting, visas, to help watch us, 100% levy on property purchases, now, in a resort which is principally British, we have the pleasure of lying on the beach or walking the prom with an ice cream with a drone buzzing overhead spying on if we have a strawberry or vanilla. Time for us to holiday here in the U.K. and keep our money circulating in this Country instead of depleting the money in the U.K. system to bolster the economy of a Country that doesn’t want us. Spain gave too much latitude in bar building and resultant bad tourist behaviour in the past, it’s reaping the rewards of that.
