A sketch from the British comedy show 'Saturday Night Live UK', broadcast by the Sky channel, has gone viral on social media after satirizing the behavior of some United Kingdom tourists who travel to Spain to enjoy the sun, but without leaving the British environment.

The eight men accused of the gang rape of an 18-year-old woman in Magaluf in August 2023 admitted to the crime and accepted a combined sentence of 72 years and three months in prison. The plea agreement was finalized Monday morning before the trial was scheduled to take place in the Second Section of the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands. The defendants—seven French nationals and one Swiss national—admitted that on August 14, 2023, they went to a hotel room in Magaluf where one of the victim's companions was staying. They admitted that, aware of the woman's unconscious state, they undressed her, sexually assaulted her, and raped her multiple times.

The demolition of the former Hotel Teix in Magaluf and the Hostal Colón in Peguera will begin this Friday, as part of the renewal of established tourist areas in Calvià. This was announced by the mayor of the municipality, Juan Antonio Amengual, this Wednesday at the World Travel Market in London during an event at the Balearic Islands stand. The mayor, the municipal government team, and the President of the Balearic Government, Marga Prohens, among other authorities, will attend the start of the demolitions. With this initiative, as highlighted by the City Council, Calvià is advancing in the regeneration process of established areas and gaining spaces that will be for public use. "With these demolitions, we are fully entering the renewal of established areas of the municipality; these are the first demolitions carried out in Calvià in the 21st century," said Amengual, who explained that the objective is to recover land for public use. The purchase of the Hotel Teix in Magaluf was formalized by the Calvià Town Council on March 20th, following a private purchase agreement reached with its former owners at the beginning of February. The acquisition of the property, which had been closed for years, was financed with funds provided by the European Union's Next Generation Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, managed through the Government. This demolition follows that of the former Hostal Colón in Peguera, also acquired by the Town Council under the same conditions. Thus, the total investment allocated to the purchase and demolition of both establishments amounts to approximately 6 million euros. For the Town Council, the demolition is not only an urban planning operation, but also a "declaration of principles" regarding "commitment to a more people-friendly, livable, and sustainable city model, where the land serves the people, and not the other way around."
