    Love your content and watching your videos is really special and often brings back fond memories of many childhood holidays back in the 80s in Magaluf! I remember Thomsons and other tour operators used to do year round holidays to Majorca with the Sol Guadalupe, Magaluf Park and Trinidad being open. Great to see the Honolulu still standing! I need to get back again sometime.

      Awww, your comment has just made my day. Thank you so much for leaving it! Part of the reason I like to make these videos, is that some viewers watch for nostalgia! And yes, you must come back!

      Young at Heart by Thomsons Holidays used to go over winter to Magaluf. Always stayed in the Trinidad which is now the Sol House

    Great video Alex. Looks deserted. Still warmer than Belfast today. It's 4c here. Hope you have your hard hat and hi-vis vest :) Hopefully all the works will be finished before the season starts. Best wishes, John

    The weather is mild and its so pretty, so it’s challenging me to understand closing during the “off” season. They could offer history tours, golf tournaments, car shows, music concerts, home & garden shows, immersive food and cooking classes, spiritual retreats, etc. Hmmm…

      There is enormous potential for winter tourism but it's all up to the airlines and hotels!

    I loved walking up Punta Ballena in the winter, as you say absolutely dead. It’s a great little walk. That beach front definitely won’t be done by May (I think you said May finish date?) 😂😂😂

    Brilliant video Alex. The work on the paseo marítimo looks like they are going to make it a lot wider without the wall they had against the sand. The big black piping looks like the start of a storm drain system

    It’s a shame it’s all closed up during winter. The weather is still a damn sight better than the UK, and lots of people would enjoy walking, eating & drinking, without the need for hot sunshine. I think the tour operators are cottoning on to this market slowly.

    • @MallorcaUnderTheSun

      True Michelle. I wonder if we'll see a change in the future... maybe.. (it was just too surreal walking around Magaluf with it THIS quiet.... )

    Thankyou gor another great video. It is a shame that the hotel teix is being demolished stayed there a few times when club 18-30 was around. Do you know when it is being knocked down. It is a shame to see magaluf so quiet.

    • @MallorcaUnderTheSun
      @MallorcaUnderTheSun  24 дня назад +1

      I don't think it will be immediately. They will wait until another winter for sure (it wouldn't happen in the Summer season)

      Yes they are as normal, excpet on fiesta days (public holidays) where they will run a reduced service. Otherwise you can get around.

    Hi Alex.Speaking of construction the oldest man made construction in the world is the dry stone walls(related to the celtic/basque/goth phoenician talaiots) which happen to be originary from Mallorca and this construction style is found all over the world.Can you see what this means and proves?There is a town in Mallorca with a very telling/revealing name:Inca.Remember the Inca Gods?Universal Mallorca baby...un-IBER-sal from iber-ian...

That and the prince William were owned by the same owner. Not sure now. When's Bcm opening Alex. Been waiting outside since Saturday. Lol.

      LOL, that's what it looked like. It was so errily quiet. On the upside for once I wasn't the only person on the beach. But I'm sure the dog has appeared before in the vids. BCM is open for NYE I think - really!!!

    Hi Alex. Question: What do the local people do for employment in the winter. Or do you think they earn enough during the summer to take the time off. Thanks

      They work themselves into the ground during the summer working 6 or 7 days a week 10-12 hour shifts. Paid nomina and the rest in black (cash in hand), then if they have enough employment days/hours they can claim paro which is unemployment benefits. How much and how long depends on his long you’ve worked. Paro compliments the money saved during the summer months. My husband is Spanish, he’s done many seasons out there. This is how millions of workers do it

    Hotel Teix has a bit of bad history with balcony deaths, probably why, that and the fact magaluf is becoming very expensive and glitzy now and hotels like that don’t fit the bill.
