On social media, a Playa de Palma resident has denounced days of non-stop partying in the area, which has been full of Spanish students since Friday last week. He is critical of Palma town hall and police passivity, although another resident (@tonimaltraste) says on Twitter that he has videos where National Police patrols are seen passing but that he can understand this. "There was only one patrol and they cannot deal with a thousand people or more. In fact, I was talking to them and they explained to me how from above they don't give them more options or staff. It's the same with the local police in Palma." He wonders if Mayor José Hila will do anything, or "will he wait for 100 days, 7, 9, 23, or perhaps never?"

Who thought that it was a good idea to allow the students from the peninsula to come over again after last year's carry on? Was it the big hotels chains lobbying the government? The big hotels don't care about anything apart from profits (which they invest in other parts of the world). One way to stop this madness would be to ban under 25s from Arenal and Magaluf. A bit of an extreme measure maybe as there are plenty of under 25s who don't cause problems, but something has to be done. So much for reducing tourist numbers and attracting so called quality tourism.
