Whose beaches are they anyway?
Beaches gradually underwent a process of privatisation
Some time ago, I wrote an article about sunloungers, the absence thereof, not recently for reasons to do with institutional inefficiencies, but in decades past. The article was inspired by a photo of Can Picafort beach circa 1970. There was nary a sunlounger to be seen. Of parasols, or should one say umbrellas, there were but two. And flimsy affairs they looked. They had probably taken a battering from the northeasterly that can suddenly blow quite fiercely on a Bay of Alcudia summer's afternoon.
