Thanks for the update Alex. Only seems to rain on sundays there. Did you find your pot of gold. Lol. What is the reason for baggage sizing. The airplane lockers hold more then is allowed. Does that apply to both airports :)
The reason for baggage sizing, I was told on one of my trips was for "safety." Even one mm out. I would honestly say it's for €€€€ but that's just my humble opinion. Applies to anywhere on their network. As for that pot of gold, that rainbow kept moving!
Can I add when I lived in Palma with my husband and daughter. We would drive to the mountain area, pile the car with snow and drive back to town as soon as possible. 😂.
@ because of the traffic - cars park on the verges and block the mountain roads. It’s absolutely bizarre when we have snow - check out my video snow in mallorca !
I did watch this, it was awful. But I do also think this could happen anywhere in any holiday destination, city or town with nightlife and a drinking culture. I don't think it's limited to Magaluf. I'm pretty sure the same video could be made anywhere else. Saying that though, I would like to have a conversation with the Mayor about this. Can Calvia Town hall / the police do more? Saying that, the conversations with those British lads had with the girl they thought was 15 was sickening. How were they brought up? I will be talking about this on the run up to the Summer season. Every parent should allow their teen to watch this.
Thanks, Alex. The extreme weather features responsible for the Vallencia flooding do not appear over Mallorca even when wind/rain storms are predicted. Its a matter of degree. This doesn't mean freak events won't occur, but it's unlikely.
Isolated incident? Get your head out of the clouds you fool! There’s been floods around Europe . Don’t you think that’s convenient? I’d say geo engineering is happening here
HHMMMM is it safe to travel to Mallorca. Well that question divides into two parts. The travel and the location. The travel depends on who you fly with. Statistics say flying Lyin air or Sleazy is marginally safer than say Kazach airways or Aeroflot. Once here remember not to book a hotel built in a torrent bed and you should be fine. Bring your wellies as its been raining for the past week and forget your speedos cos its way too cold in the briny. A spot of hillwalking is OK but keep a lookout for savage goats . You can rent a car but remember people say watch out for the local drivers. All Lies. Tourist drivers like you are the danger on the roads because its all different, driving on the wrong side, road signs in a foreign language, and people constantly indicating for you to stop because there is something wrong with your car. That last one is a scam by the way. Stop and they will rob you. Other than all that its a beautiful island as long as you get away from the ugly bits ie large chunks of the coastline. The locals are used to tourists , their grandparents grew up with them so they will tolerate you, interpret your sign language, and sell you knick knacks or the local delicacies - with all the rain snails and mushrooms are in season at present. Mushies - some are good, some very bad and some will transport you to another realm. So take care. Enjoy your stay, make sure you always come off season and you will be welcome.

😂BRILLIANT. You know they quickly close the roads now to stop anyone from getting to the snow!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSunwhy do they do that? it's not like you get snowfall like they see on the a66 here in the uk 😅
@ because of the traffic - cars park on the verges and block the mountain roads. It’s absolutely bizarre when we have snow - check out my video snow in mallorca !
In Puerto Pollensa now, all good 😊
Stay dry!
All good thanks. A lot better today. How was Palma?
@@RobertMorrell-j3w how did you know I was in Palma today?!!!
I thought that was where you lived on the island. Sorry if I upset you
Great weekly update, I think you need a crystal ball 😂
Just polishing it now for next week! ;)
Hi Alex any news on etias
None! No concrete start date on that one.
Can Picafort was safe last year )
Absolutely!
Would like to know your thoughts on the recent channel 4 dispatches documentary, regarding the high rape and sexual assaults in magaluf thanks

Have the Spanish done away with the 3 month residency limit for UK citizens? I heard they and France were thinking about doing away with it.
No! "Brexit means Brexit" - it was voted for ultimately.
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun Yes, it scuppered my retirement plans!
Spain and France wanted to extend the 90/180 ruling but eu rules meant that they couldn’t make that decision independently as a eu member.

Good to konw, thanks!
Oh, for goodness sake!! Come on. A rare isolated incident umpteen miles away. So we we're worried about travelling to Mallorca? Get a grip.
Are you familiar with the sant llorenc tragedy a few years back? Google it.

Dana is going to hit Mallorca so people are right to be concerned. You are rude and uniformed.
