Residents of this Palma neighbourhood said in a statement that there had been a "general rampage" during the early hours of Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the three days in which a nightclub in the area has been open.
"Hundreds of people have gathered in the main square of the area declared of Cultural Interest and the scandal they have caused has led us neighbours to call the police, who came to disperse the crowd during the early hours of Sunday," said the neighbours of Es Jonquet.
However, the association pointed out that the situation was repeated in the early hours of Monday morning (a public holiday) and this time without police presence.
"Those affected have endured another day without being able to sleep. The streets have dawned with urine in many corners, broken glass bottles on the floor and other remains of binge drinking, accumulated in some places for several days.

I think you will find it is just a lack of respect for the residents. Even if the trouble is outside the club, they should still be held responsible for their customers behaviour. More widely this behaviour occurs at most of the festivals and fiestas that seem to attract trouble makers, they drink to much, start early in the evening and as most venues and fiestas start after 2300 they are already drunk. Of course they have little or no thought for the locals and residents and it's always the police who have to sort out the problem. The local councils who licence and allow this things to happen only seem interested in the money they make not the impact on the area or residents.
I have sympathy for the long term residents of this area but not so much for the rich northern europeans who are recent arrivals and are complaining about noise from clubs that have been there for 30 years or more. They should have done their research.
