Police in Majorca are planning an Easter crackdown on rowdy behaviour after a series of incidents in Magaluf. Authorities in Calvia - the local government region covering the party hotspot - are planning to introduce more police patrols after a series of confrontations between revellers during recent weekends.
There are fears that incidents of excessive behaviour could increase when thousands of UK tourists arrive for the Easter break. Local government and police have already imposed a crackdown on heavy drinking in Magaluf with new rules imposed on bars and drinks offers to avoid drunken behaviour.
Several bars were cautioned in Magaluf by police this weekend for various breaches of the current Covid laws, including failing to follow rules on face coverings and not respecting social distancing. Another bar had its sound system confiscated for breaking noise levels while police had to deal with several violent incidents involving local youths and a group from neighbouring Palma.
