I haven’t been but it sounds like a younger generation party place, stag and hen do’s, I’m no prude but I feel embarrassed by this disgraceful behaviour.
Never been to Magaluf. The news reports about the number of young people falling about in the street are dreadful. We wanted a last minute holiday a few years ago, the travel agent suggested Benidorm. We rolled out eyes, but with the promise of a lovely quiet hotel at a price we couldn't refuse we went. We didn't see any drunken behaviour and the hotel was lovely. We finished going again the following year.

Yes I've been to Magaluf a few times, when I was a kid, it was beautiful, it was quiet and easy to mix with the locals and feel the real Spain, complete polar opposite of what it is now, groups of drunks on cheap holidays spoiling things for others and behaving like animals.
There is a lot to be said for being part of a group, and the support and friendship that is gained from this.
LLCC, that made me laugh...shagaluf...not so much of the aloof bit either
It is such a shame the way this place has developed, just like San Antonia in Ibiza, we went there 25 years ago when our daughter was 5 or 6 years old, and it was a stunning resort, not expensive and not at all rowdy or threatening, now it is very, very expensive and anyone with any sense wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
I went to Ibiza about 19 years ago, Although at the time we didn't see drunks or anti social behaviour or big groups, what we did notice was everything seemed to be English this, English that and i thought "why"? Why go abroad and end up in a hot variation of the country you just came from, never went back.

Funnily enough cheshirecat2023, I’ve been in Palma this week. It was lovely apart from getting stuck in the city centre in a rainstorm. We needed a wheelchair taxi but there were no about and the taxi que suddenly became enormously long. After a while we got on a bus as they have wheelchair ramps. We went very near to Maggers, to a place called Port Adriano. Very nice but it was completely dead, no atmosphere just loads and loads and loads of boats moored up.
