Tonight (30.10., 19:40) Arte will be showing the Report "Re: Mallorca and alcohol" Insights into life on the Playa de Palma - where vacation meets exuberance and the real Mallorca often remains hidden. The camera follows a German policewoman who patrols the beach promenade together with colleagues as part of a German-Spanish cooperation. They encounter tourists partying, as is customary on the ham street, as well as local residents, restaurateurs and kiosk operators who have to deal directly with the new rules and bans.
Celebrations and bans: Who wins?
The big questions remain: Can the new alcohol ban change the Ballermann lifestyle? Or will partying on the beach remain as it always has been? Arte takes a fascinating look at the people on the ground, who move between the beach, the night of hits and the daily challenges. "How do tourists react to the rules? How do the people who live and work here experience these new restrictions?", is the focus of the program. A Ballermann landlady and pop singers whose livelihoods depend on the joy of partying also have their say.
One day, many perspectives
Between the packed Bierkönig and the quiet morning hours when the Playa is empty, the reportage captures moods that range from exuberant celebrations to sober reality. A true portrait of Playa de Palma in the summer of 2024 - full of contrasts and with a dose of surprise.
