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!
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…
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.
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.
The residents will enjoy it more no doubt cause if all those changes about collecting our personal information is going to happen, it’s bye 👋 bye from me - ridiculous
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...
I've since found out that the hotel teix is being sold with the land for 1 million euros. Being my second home I'd like to keep it. Promise I'll pay you back Alex. 😄
Is magaluf in lockdown Alex 😂. Feeling sad about my hotel being demolished and you did pronounce it right..😢 spent many years working there and enjoyed many happy memories. 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.
I dont have to remind people who invaded and enslaved celtic/pagan europe and america do i?Ok i will remind you anyway:Madrid,Spain the enemies of the Basque people/Celtic people/Mallorca/Barcelona.Basque is the original language of Europe(not just Europe)and the Basque people and the celtic nations up north are not free.Enough said...
Thanks Alex for this update. Great work for upgrade Magaluf. Regards Frits
Oh my word. Those backstreets look like an abandoned film set. Good update on the work being done. Thanks Alex.
That is such a good description Diane, and you are right! Just me fliming tho ;)

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
Thanks John - a wager should be placed on April as the finishing date . It looks like still a lot to do!
Great video thank you Alex it's strange to see the resort so quite
it is - I'm not a fan of this time of year. I really prefer seeing people.

There is enormous potential for winter tourism but it's all up to the airlines and hotels!
I think it will look really good, whenever it is finished, I think finish will be after the start of the season.

😂😂😂 I think we need to hold a sweepstake on the May 1 finish date 😂😂😂

Brilliant Tommy, I knew I could rely on you for some info! Yes, now you say it, the wall has gone!
Really looking forward to my stay in.magaluf next may thanks for the update Alex see you soon 😁👍😊
I think the resort will look amazing! So much work is being done!
WELCOME TO BALI, INDONESIA 🇮🇩😊

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.
I don't think it will be immediately. They will wait until another winter for sure (it wouldn't happen in the Summer season)
You can always call into Chris,s bar outside Son Matias for a nice cafe con leche Alex.
The residents will enjoy it more no doubt cause if all those changes about collecting our personal information is going to happen, it’s bye 👋 bye from me - ridiculous
I wonder if anybody remembers a bar in Magaluf having a pet duck whose party piece was to get very familiar with the ladies?
So sad ! But....next June onwards and upwards! Can you check out Palma Nova too?
I will soon!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun Thank you!
Hi, could you please tell us if the public buses would be operational around Christmas?
Yes they are as normal, excpet on fiesta days (public holidays) where they will run a reduced service. Otherwise you can get around.

I think it's a shame really - just lying there disused!
@Glyn-r Been sold to the Government, will be demolished and turned into park this winter.
@neillynall7466 ☹🙏🎄
@neillynall7466 does that also mean prince William pub next door will go the same way ?
@@neillynall7466I presume that the prince William pub is going the same way also.
Is the promenade gonna be wider than before?
Yes it will be !
Must be cold there, winter clothing...
Yes!
It used to be

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun not much longer to wait then. Think I might go for a swim as the water looks very warm 🏊♀️

Hi Mark - I made a video all about that! ruclips.net/video/7-eS42PQn7A/видео.htmlsi=2EAGx88cJ1OVWvzy
@MallorcaUnderTheSun OK I will check it out thank you Alex
