We stopped coming as a family when it turned full of drunk Germans in about 2016 but I am here now with my son and husband. We wouldn't come any later than now. It's starting to get very busy.

In the late 90s, I was always on Mallorca as a kid with my family. We only went to El Arenal during the day. Maybe one time. I thought it was ok but I know people who don't want to visit Mallorca because it has a party reputation but it is actually a dumb argument because it's like saying that you don't wanna visit the USA because of Las Vegas. Mallorca has so many beautiful and quiet spots. Why would you avoid all of that just because of one bad beach? And from the video it doesn't even look that full. So you can leave anytime in case you feel annoyed by the alcohol-humans. I love your video stabilization.

Hmm, I hate to say it but this video comes across a little bit xenophobic imo, yes there are huge crowds and they're drinking, but it literally was the quietest most reserved crowds of that age I've seen, literally no one was screaming and shouting, lying in a pool of their own vomit, falling all over the place, and no one was walking up the street half naked in a mankini, it had an almost bizarrely low level of noise given the numbers of people there. Now compare that to Magaluf where the English are haha, the things I've seen there, and in San Antonio Ibiza, and in Benidorm etc. Those Germans were quite respectable in comparison!
