Drinking & Nightlife
While restless young Germans party at the Platja de Palma beer gardens east of the city,
their British equivalents are letting themselves loose on the nightspots of Magaluf. This
is big stag- and hen-night territory, and few holds are barred. The drinking antics of the
Brits in Magaluf have long been legendary (for all the wrong reasons). The bulk of the
action is concentrated around the north end of Carrer de Punta Ballena. Pubs and bars are
piled on top of one another.
