After a few months of panic, waiting and uncertainty, the Spanish government have reopened their borders and tourists from the UK and Europe can now travel the Mallorca, with most not needing to quarantine on return. Because of this, the past few weeks has seen a huge spike in people booking a last-minute holiday to places like Magaluf and grabbing some of the best deals of all time.
From the 1st July, hotels across Majorca have started to open and each week more and more announce they will be opening their doors to deal with the high demand. The good news means Magaluf is back on. We will still need to wait another year to see what the all-new BCM will look like, but Magaluf isn’t just about clubbing. If you are coming to Magaluf this August or September or are thinking about a quick trip away to forget what’s going on back at home, here is a list of some great places and things to do for the second half of this summer.
