The co-founder of the Majorca Daily Bulletin, Margalida Magraner, who died last April, was awarded the Mallorcan Tourist Board´s Gold Medal last night.

She founded the Bulletin alongside her late husband Pere A. Serra MBE in 1962. The Tourist Board said that her work through the pages of the Bulletin had given the island some first class promotion both at home and abroad.
