The Calvia council has taken policing in Magalluf this summer to a new level with the announcement that a specialist police drone unit will be on duty during the peak summer months. The move is part of an enhanced policing plan for Magalluf with more officers on duty and extra cash to pay for more overtime.
Mallorca heads to the Madrid tourism fair
The 45th Fitur tourism fair starts in Madrid on Wednesday. Where the Balearics are concerned, it is one of the three most important fairs along with Berlin and London; the Spanish tourism market is the third largest in the Balearics. For Spain as a whole, as with the Balearics specifically, the latest Fitur is being held against a background of record tourist numbers and record tourist spending. When the final figures are presented for 2024 in early February, it is anticipated that Spain will have attracted 94 million tourists, an increase of ten per cent. The expectation for the Balearics is more modest, a rise of five per cent to around 18.7 million.

They really want the British in Spain don’t they! Fingerprinting, visas, to help watch us, 100% levy on property purchases, now, in a resort which is principally British, we have the pleasure of lying on the beach or walking the prom with an ice cream with a drone buzzing overhead spying on if we have a strawberry or vanilla. Time for us to holiday here in the U.K. and keep our money circulating in this Country instead of depleting the money in the U.K. system to bolster the economy of a Country that doesn’t want us. Spain gave too much latitude in bar building and resultant bad tourist behaviour in the past, it’s reaping the rewards of that.
