Mallorca - Where Germans like to drink and party | Travel tips for Mallorca in spring

[@ddiazgon]

I loved how you showed that Mallorca is not only a place to get wasted in summer. Sadly, this year is set to be the first "normal" one after the pandemic but it seems we go back the tourism of alcohol with all this places like Megapark or "Schinkenstrasse" reopening again. I agree that you can have fun and drink here in Mallorca but always respecting the enviroment and the local people and that has been the problem years back. I hope we can create a sustainable tourism in the future and not depending only in summer season.

Unless u live there that tourism doesn't even affect u, it's literally just two towns, you talk as if it was an island wide problem, unless I specifically go to Magaluf I don't witness any of that "normal tourism" you talk about. I experience crowded beaches and cyclists, thats the actual normal tourism, not an epidemic of drunks. Most tourists do what the video has shown and you talk as if that was a minority of them.

I respect what you say.... and don't even go there... there are still beautiful places on earth where you are welcome.

[@lamoskgr]

Germans love coming here because they do what they aren't allowed to do in Germany. But God forbids you even talk loudly in their country. As a Mallrocan I can say that the German elderly are the best. We love them so much. They are so respectful and kind. I missed them a lo during Quarentine. They are the best tourists in the world ❤️

en latinoamerica se jactan de decir que son muy disciplinado y correctos, y creen que los alemanes son lo mejor! Dicen que hubieran preferido. que los invandieran los alemanes que los españoles

[@JavierSanchez-dn4yn]

Yeah, here in Alicante is full of tourists all over the year, and the young Brits and Germans... Oh my goodness, sometimes it's too much disrespectful. When we visit their countries we are not doing that, but visiting museums, sightseeing the cities... I don't understand this behaviour really...

[@lamoskgr]

@@JavierSanchez-dn4yn I totally agree. I think that many of them just think that they are above us because they are able to buy really cheap services. Our local government should be more strict with them. I even feel bad for the policemen!!

The people from Germany are the principal tourists and visitors in Mallorca. Too there are a lot of people from United Kingdom. And the island of Mallorca receive people from all around the world, like people from Ireland, Sweden, Norway, France, Italy, and from more other countries. Too there are visitors from United States, Canadá, South África. You did a great video explaining all. The visit to the Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca is highly recomended. Greetings from Mallorca.

[@Lipo]

Until Covid came along my mother and I would spend a month in Mallorca every year. I loved it! Really miss Mallorca now.

[@georgiancrossroads]

Tourists have definitely put Mallorca on my list of places to avoid at all costs.

[@phoenix0477]

I'm an ex flight attendant and flew there often, and had the same view as you, but I went there last year to a town called Alcúdia. I have to say it was one of the best holidays I have ever had. It was beautiful, great beach and the old town was stunning. I'll definitely be going back, as not so many tourists.

[@Pepinyo33]

I have been living in Mallorca for the past 20 years and I must say you should most definitely give it a go. Yes Playa de Palma and other touristy areas can be a nightmare, but as an independent-minded traveller myself who usually backpacks all over the world I must say Mallorca and the Balearics have some of the most gorgeous, unspoilt destinations in Europe. Try Mallorca's Tramuntana range, places like Sóller, Deia and Banyalbufar, Alcudia... the other more quieter islands such as Formentera and Menorca... stunning scenery, accesible, great local food... there is a lot to be discovered in spite of mass tourism.

[@hus390]

@@Pepinyo33 let me ask you this since you live there. What's with all these individual beach and Treet vendors? I see they are all Africans? Since when they are in Mallorca? And are there numbers increasing or decreasing? What's the island government is doing about them? Can't they have a stand int he streets to sell their goods? Why do they have to annoy beach goers by approaching them while they are sunbathing???

[@ILoveMallorca]

Lovely island!❤ Saludos!🇪🇸

[@Mikolavic]

I guess it was too much to ask to mention that some of the problems brought by mass tourism are an upward pressure on rents for locals, who can no longer afford to live near where they work, or an excess of low-paid hospitality jobs that limit the resilience of the local economy. Put these two things together and you get the working poor, who can't live on their salaries. It is not about not welcoming this or that nationality, it is about an economic model that does not support the kind of society that we would like to be.

[@skillfuldabest]

It it’s that bad then it’s still always possible to supplement your income by working online or creating new businesses. This was all very predictable and so just waiting and not planning ahead is an individual’s choice.

Dear Lukas and DW thank you so much! You make me remember so many nice memories over there ! It has been very pleasant! Muchísimos saludos! 😃🙏☀️❤️

[@QueenBee-mk8xm]

Good video. Weather is usually unstable until Easter and becomes more stable and consistentlyl sunny in May or June. This year, the weather has been pretty awful during March and now continuing into April, though it might improve in a week or so according to the forecast. The boozy party mile could be erased entirely, but it isn´t because it makes a lot of money. Excesssive drinking has been not just allowed, but actively encouraged for years. What this lady at the Ballerman is saying is disingenuous. The island could function very well without these establishments that encourage excessive drinking and make a lot of money from doing so. With regards to tourism having skewed the society in Mallorca, that is absolutely true. There has been far too much greed in the past five to ten years especially. It´s become all about getting as much foreign cash as possible in the summer and then closing up shop and doing essentially nothing all winter (five to six months). This has affected availability of jobs, affordable housing, and means that it is pretty dead in winter when the majority of hotels and many shops and other venues are closed. It has also affected people´s attitudes and there has been a normalization of disrespect in all spheres of society including the dangerous driving on the roads and dangerous parking as well.

[@edgarmarroquin4034]

After COVID-19 and Spain opening up again I forgot how huge tourism is in Spain. I live in Valencia and I do have to say it's a bit overwhelming for us locals having people over all the time waiting in long queues for most things people misbehaving etc and the language barrier I know your on vacation but please try to know ur basics in Spanish! And don't get mad if Spanish people don't know or want to speak English to u! It's Spain we speak Spanish simple as that. In general tho Spain is extremely welcoming 😊

[@hannofranz7973]

Me encanta la isla. Tiene un gran abanico de paisajes. Siendo alemán huyo del Ballermann-Ambiente aunque disfruto a veces de comer un plato típico alemán. La gente asocia alemanes a veces con un cierto tipo de turismo. Por eso me encanta poder sorprender a los locales a veces por el hecho de vivir en Valencia demanant a la gent: "S' us plau, em pot dir on trobe açi el centre ciutat?" con accento alemán.

I am non-german living in Germany. I went to Palma for vacation and I was sad...the waiters and cashiers talked to me in German, the food was germanized, the german music was blasted through the streets. What is the point in going on vacation and wanting that everything is german. I go on vacation to experince things I can't at home.It is disrespectful for the culture of the host country.

Congrats for you video! You had show the other Mallorca and as a Mallorquin I can tell you that there is muuuch more!! It's a shame the weather, last March we only get 10h of Sun, which is unusual... Mallorca has died of exit... The low salarys and the high price of live makes really difficoult to have social live and a private house.... Just in spends it can be 1.200€ when a regular salary is < 1.300€.... Anyway I still thinking that Mallorca is the best place in the world!!!

Un bonito reportaje. Atentamente, una mallorquina😊

[@marcbarea9830]

"Where Germans like to drink and party". As a title, and I'm from Mallorca, I think it's disrespectful, knowing that Mallorca is not only that. We have a beautiful culture, a beautiful language (catalan), and heavy tourism is killing our island, also due to the bad politics who let despoil our land, constructing, constructing, constructing... If you come to Mallorca, don't go just to typical places. Learn just the basics of the language and support local factories. And now, I'll see the video, may be I'm wrong, but I wanted to make it clear...

[@cainlondon9539]

I agree with you.. beauty of a place is defined by its people & culture and not just by landscape etc. So understanding the place (people, culture, traditions) should be a topmost priorty while visiting any place. And not just getting drunk!!🙂

[@hannofranz7973]

I quite agree but you should also bear in mind that it was Spanish businessmen and corrupt politicians that turned parts of Mallorca into a big business deal based on cheap tourism.

[@grou5908]

we are in the 21st century, you use the same topics of the seventies, flamenco guitars in the background, as if this were Andalusia, the Plaça Major is a "movie set" from the times of Franco, put there with all the intention. Antoni Gaudí "Spanish", if he raised his head from the tomb. It only lacked sangria and bullfighters, Mallorca is a Mediterranean island with its own culture, why don't you want to know it, leave the topics and please find out more.

[@smartkitville7167]

Antoni Gaudí was born in Reus, SPAIN.

[@TheHollandHS]

I usually see northern European tourists go around in masses and being just practical, but to establish own traditional culture through big communities like traditional beer halls , names and making it virtually speaking its language written up at the same time is really unusual. Germans especially bavarians care about their own rich grand tradition. Compared to an dutch and English tourist they dont really care take their own culture as a hierarchical establishment . And yet germans can really just be as travel happy. Unlike Spaniards Italians or French who stay either home or just travel without such aggressive common marketing mindset. Or it has to be so very elite minded if to operate . German culture is rather unique on that aspect.

[@anthonydecastro6938]

tourists have to understand that they are guests on the island, not the overlords of the residents. so shame on those, particularly Germans who are quite picky about what tourists do in their own country, who would trample on the cultural traditions of the people and their island, treating it as if they can trash its beauty and its environmental integrity with impunity, and all because they carry loads of cash or have credit cards.

They are good drunks and no fights really start but not a place to bring a family or even a couples weekend. It's party central for german and germas only. I enjoyed my trip but would never go back as its party central for germans only

I live here, and the problem with mass tourism is worst than what people think. Pre pandemic it was just chaos, planes were landing every minute at the airport non stop for 7 days a week, all rentals cars were fully booked, thousands of cars on the road made traffic just insane. The pandemic as bad as it may have been, made many people in Mallorca realise how important it is to limit tourism on the island, the environmental impact was just terrible. You literally couldn’t go on a beach without having there massive tourists storming it. During pandemic, beaches were deserted and made them beautiful and relaxing as they should have been. I am afraid that the 2 years of peaceful living are gonna be over soon.
