Well me and Markus took last week of to a nice holiday in the sun in Magaluf, Mallorca. About 15kms from the city of Palma we were assuming the place to be calm and nice. Not exactly...

We found a great hotel, 4 stars in the best location and on a discount price, we gave it a grade 10/10 points. Leaving the clean hotel area in Magaluf is another thing.. I personally wouldn't recommend the place to anyone! The city is FULL of tourists from the UK, Ireland and Scotland, WASTED! The funniest nights we had sitting in bars looking these people fooling around. We saw many bachelor and bachelorette groups and british people in general wearing the weirdest costumes (from teenage ninja turtles to cross dressers to almost naked teenage girls ofcourse). The city also has the weirdest mixture of people: more tourists than locals, 50% young people, 50% senior groups??? We never managed to find out what the seniors are doing in a party place like this, ofcourse exept for those who danse in the bar feeling like a 20 year old again. Still draumatized by the 50 year old man who had a false impression of himself thinking he looks as cool as Eminem. Can't even describe the horror of seeing him on the dancefloor.
Anyway, the first night some guys from North Ireland showed us the way to the "Strap" (/Strip?) which is known as the local street FULL of bars. You can get great deals with the drinks, Buy 1, get 2 + a shot for free! Sounds like a student paradise but it was just actually horrible (maybe some 18 year olds would like these kind of party streers with foam parties and crazy drunk people). Also 1 nice guy from Wales provided us with information about women and alcohol around here. For those who want to, umm explore, the services from women are beginning from the price of 0,75€. Just know that these women also wait for a big tip in the end, so apparently they will either rob you while doing their thing or ask more money, with a knife. And since the drinks in Magaluf are almost free the cheap alcohol in them migh be made of mixture with poisonous methanol (you coud get blind).

We also visited city of Palma which was very nice and did a little bit of shopping, mostly souvenirs for friends / family. Food was good despite I still didn't have the chance to try proper spanish tapas. Good reason to come back to Spain some day! The weekend was crazy, funny and sunny. We drunk too much Malibu and poisonous alcohol, saw things we didn't want to and had a good time!
