Zoltan TeglasYes, well, I pointed that out last year, when the MDB was publishing those tourism gloom and doom articles (because Brits weren't booking). Yet from November through March, bookings and tourists were pretty obviously unusually abundant. Magaluf of course was a ghost town as it usually is at that time of year, so from the British view, naturally, tourism was "dead" (and it's good click bait). Yet now, it's possibly the biggest tourism year in history, yet Magaluf is still a bit low on traffic. Still, it points to that famous insularity. It's the only thing they see, so it's assumed that everywhere else is the same, if not worse off. Well, ok. At least they're publishing the article illustrating that other places, are doing well. You have to give them credit for that. By the way, Cala Bona, a small harbour at the far end of the Cala Millor strip is a British enclave of sorts, so that's probably why it's booming.
Morgan WilliamsThis paper amused me last year by saying how quiet Mallorca was - I don't think the reporters ever leave Calvia as the rest of the Island was packed.
Zoltan TeglasBe happy it's not yet another Magaluf walkthrough, with a narrative talking about how busy it is, while the pictures show surprisingly light traffic.
It's the biggest resort on the island and very popular with Germans so why would anyone be surprised that it's busy in August.
