"Drinking on the street was banned before the pandemic, and it continues to be," the local police in Palma informed the population in advance.
But this does not seem to have reached the people.
Despite the corona virus, crowds of vacationers and locals had formed on the beach, celebrating and drinking alcohol in large numbers.
Many did not wear a mask and did not keep the safe distance.
The Bamboleo party venue on Schinkenstrasse was shut down by the police at 9 p.m. because the hygiene measures had not been observed.

Parties in Mallorca: crowds of up to 10,000 people despite Corona
The night before there were parties in Playa de Palma.
And in the streets of Palma, both tourists and locals met for drinking parties on the street.
In the Spanish media there are sometimes more than a thousand people at such gatherings.
Some holidaymakers can only shake their heads at this: “It's unbelievable what's going on on the beach and in Schinkenstrasse. I am ashamed of these idiots. In the morning the promenade looked like after a Rose Monday parade. All sensible people then have to suffer again, ”a German tourist told the
Mallorca newspaper
. And there are likely to be even more tourists on the island, because from June 7th, new easing of entry to Spain and thus also to Mallorca will apply.
Also on Saturday evening, numerous party-mad people gathered again. As the newspaper
Ultima Hora
reports, between 7,000 and 10,000 people gathered on the beach promenade. It remains to be seen whether there will be any consequences like last summer. At that time, the regional government of Mallorca closed all restaurants on Ballermann.
