| Q: |
Are there any safety issues and recommendations with Magalluf and Mallorca? |
|
| A: |
Mallorca is a hot island with lots of fantastic beaches and nightlife (Magalluf being part of this). However with this type of party atmosphere and Mediterranean environment dangers do come also, at barcourse.net we highly recommend to our students to stay in a group at all times and please don抰 go overboard on the beach and use the right sun protection. The tap water also is only drinkable when used in a kettle, but we still recommend the use of bottled water. |
