Mallorca restaurants introduce dress code – VG


DRESS CODE: Eleven Mallorca restaurants have grown tired of drunken tourists visiting them wearing inappropriate clothes – or who are short of clothes.

Restaurant owners on the Spanish holiday island have grown tired of overly drunk tourists who rattle in wearing bikini tops, football shirts, sleeveless T-shirts and bare bellies.

If you are planning a restaurant visit along the seafront in Mallorca, you should consider dropping the after-beach look.

A group of eleven restaurants have now joined forces to introduce a dress code to crack down on what is described as a “recent wave of antisocial behavior among drunk tourists”, writes The Guardian.

The wave, which is of the intoxicated kind, consists of tourists who are more interested in seeing the bottom of the beer glasses, than in exploring the local food culture.

The new clothing restrictions

Sleeveless T-shirts, swimwear, costumes and accessories bought from street vendors are especially prohibited.

You can also not access the food party dressed in gold chains, sun hats, football supporter clothes or other types of logos that promote drunken tourism, Ferrer announces.

By scanning a QR code, tourists can update themselves on the places’ current clothing requirements – which go by the name “Smart Chic”.

BEACH STYLE: Only skinny and swimwear do not belong to restaurant life, say representatives of Mallorca restaurants.

– Just looking to get drunk

Possibly there are more who want to get a little extra loose after several years of covid-19 restrictions, because the behavior is described as worse than the years before the pandemic.

– Since May 10, we have struggled with the arrival of large tourist groups who are just looking to get drunk on the street, near the beach promenade, or even on the beach, despairs Juan Miguel Ferrer, who heads Palma Beach, to The Guardian.

During the day, however, the restaurants operate with a degree of flexibility, according to Ferrer:

– But in the evening we drive zero tolerance, he adds.

Especially a group that stands out

In the end, according to him, the goal is not to ban, but to re-educate the tourists who have spent year after year on the holiday island.

It is also desirable to decorate the reputation as a party island with pig stuffing.

Nevertheless, there is a special group of restaurants that have been seen standing out in a particularly negative way; people who book little in advance, stay on the island for three to four days and spend about 40 euros a day, describes The Guardian.

Usually the money goes to alcohol and beer cans they drink on the street, we must believe Ferrer. He describes that when they arrive at the hotels in the morning they can not even walk:

– They are so drunk that even the companions leave them alone, lying on the sidewalk.
