The summer is over, thank you and good night. Almost 90 per cent of hotels are now closed and the unemployment figures have risen considerably as a direct result. But temperatures in Majorca are still much higher than in northern Europe and there still could be plenty of life in the tourist resorts, even in November and December, if the local authorities were a bit more imaginative and were willing to invest some money. Spend Christmas in Majorca is just one idea which comes to mind. It seems rather strange that on the last day of October everything stops. The Balearics could be promoted as a winter destination and indeed it is, but with little success. I am sure that many people living in flooded-out homes would give their left arm for a week in Majorca even at this time of the year.
