We live near Magaluf’s ‘500 metres of shame’… boozy Brits make our life hell but the resort would die without their cash

THE stakes are high in the Majorca resort town long-known for sun, sea and debauchery after Spain’s attempts to crackdown on troublemaker tourists.

But locals, business owners and workers say “Magaluf would die” without the yearly avalanche of Brits who might behave badly but “pay our bills”.

Majorca has spent the last few years desperately trying to scrub up its most infamous stretch of land – Punta Ballena, familiarly known as the “500 metres of shame”.

Authorities have instated bans on pub crawls, drink deals, booze cruises and outside music after 10pm, while local cops armed with tasers, batons and accusatory looks prowl the streets. 

But Brits still descend on this party haven en masse.
