The Balearic environment minister, Miquel Mir, said on Tuesday that overcrowding in Mallorca and the Balearics this summer is "clearly a reality". He stated that "the limits have been pushed in a quite remarkable way". "It is a situation that must be described as it is, without taboos."

I totally agree. Close Magaluff and get rid of the terrible reputation Mallorca has from this disgraceful den of inequity.
Looking at the recent headlines on this site. Start with closing down the volume resorts of Magaluf and playa de Palma. Decadent behaviour, rape, violence, deaths, vendettas , time for a reinvention of this type of the Majorca tourist offering. Increased police, regulations on how many drinks in all inclusive just pointless playing at the problems edge. If Majorca really wants sustainable upmarket tourism. The beer halls and drinking sheds have to go. Limited flights numbers and bed restrictions imposed will limit overcrowding. The islands infrastructure can’t handle any more. Pagurea every time it rains the sewers can’t handle it. Palma and other towns the same. Have the politicians the courage for this , probably not,
