A recent example is a bar in Mallorca where a literal translation was used for the menu, resulting in errors such as "Copa vino la casa" (house wine glass), a term commonly used to refer to the wine the establishment offers that isn't from major brands or well-known labels. This case was reported on social media by the Instagram profile [name of Instagram profile missing]. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mallorcaviral/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">@mallorcaviral</a>The comments on the post came pouring in. "We'll see things," one user remarked, referring to the large number of spelling mistakes and poor translations found on restaurant menus in the Balearic Islands.</p>]]></description>

In the document, the Club asserts that the administrative procedure for terminating the concession, initiated following a public tender in 2002, could lead to the closure of this club after almost sixty years of history. The board points out that the origin of the problem lies in "errors by the Public Administration" in the management of the port of Andratx and laments that "those who will ultimately suffer are the citizens, athletes, and workers who form part of the club's social base." </p>]]></description>
