The government can create as many new laws and regulations as they wish (paper never refuses ink!!)...but any law is only as good as the way in which it is implemented and enforced...and it is patently obvious that the police either don't want to enforce such, or do not have the resources to enforce....meanwhile the chaos persists....unless and until the Balearic Islands begin to change their focus on the customer segments who are targeted to come to the islands as tourists the situation will remain unchanged
Nothing wi change as it never does. Unless sufficient police and application of the law is enforced. Same story every year....
Can someone give the accurate description of what a Tourist is because I think it's definition or the way it's being used makes it sound like these are people who are not from Spain but actually this is very often not the case .
