Calvia town hall reports that a bakery in Magalluf has been fined 60,000 euros for selling alcohol outside the permitted hours.

Christopher GrubbIt's another case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't". The very same ones complaining that there aren't enough police would be first in line to protest the overwhelming number of police and their unfair treatment of innocent drunken yobs. There's always *something*. And they'll find it. Particularly those expecting a 5 star experience at 2 star prices.
Who is buying take-out alcohol at 5am? I could give the answer but I'd have the liberal brigade on me like a ton of bricks.
It's the most meaningless law that's just 'for show'. On the first night of any tourist's Magaluf holiday they'll discover (to their regret) that they can't buy alcohol in shops after 9.30pm. And the guaranteed response will be a visit to Aldi the following day to stock up on booze. Job done. And if you don't believe me, pay a visit to Aldi in Magaluf any mid-afternoon during the summer.
My God - let them have fun
This is a good news story. It is craxy that a bskery sells alcohol through the night like this. But the truth is they also need to tackle the misbehaving tourists. There is a chronic lack of enforcement, not enough cops on the ground 24/7 and they tolerate too much bad behaviour.
The Council must be very proud. Lucky the Tourism of Excesses Law doesn’t cover Hotel Prices lol
How many more so termed businesses are selling Alcohol into the early hours of the mornings?
