Before shutting up shop for the weekend yesterday, shop keepers across the Balearics were busy plastering their shop fronts with sales signs as the official summer sales finally get under way tomorrow (Monday). This year, under new legislation approved by the Balearic government, the summer sales have been delayed three weeks to the third Monday in July. The change to the commercial law has not been welcomed by shop keepers, in Minorca for example, many started the sales last week in defiance of the Balearic government when it was reported that flights to the mainland were full of people heading over to Madrid and Barcelona for the sales which started as usual at the start of the month. Mainland shopping is popular anyhow with prices being as much as 25 percent less.
