Inside 'German Magaluf' where 'disrespectful' holidaymakers leave locals furious

British holidaymakers heading to Majorca are often surprised to find so many German tourists and there is one hotspot on the Spanish island that is likened to a German Magaluf Tourists at a 'German Magaluf' are blasted for being 'disrespectful' and 'get away with murder' compared to British holidaymakers, say locals. ‌ When people think of Majorca and its tourist hotspots they are drawn to images of Brit youngsters on strips of bars and clubs having had too much to drink. But many holidaymakers are surprised to find that there is an area of the Spanish island full of Germans acting equally the worse for wear. Majorca has long been a favourite holiday destination for Germans and close to the capital Palma is the resort of S'Arenal which is particularly popular. You might think you were in Munich and not Spain with so many German voices filling bars and drinking large quantities of beer. ‌ ‌ And so while many Brits head to Majorca, with Magaluf especially popular for its party mood, in fact Germans make up the largest number of tourists, accounting for 40%. As well as S'Arenal, there are other spots on the island which are particularly German such as Peguera and the wealthy head to more exclusive resorts like Port D'Andratx. And trouble in S'Arenal has even led to German police being drafted in to help the local force in the past. Spanish locals are said to be angry at the 'disrespectful' behaviour of drunk Germans. Drinking in the street is not allowed in parts of Majorca and yet many people can be seen in S'Arenal with bottles and cans in the early hours of the morning. ‌ There is also a feeling that attention is focused on Brits in Magaluf and there is not a similar crackdown in S'Arenal. Although it is also highlighted that fighting is not so common and appears to be a particular British issue. Gerry Herriot, from Glasgow, has been running Bogart's, the last remaining British bar on the S'Arenal strip, for the past 42 years and says it used to be a lot more diverse but now it tends to be just Germans who come. ‌ He says the local people are fed up with the way they behave. 'There is no respect. The locals have no problem with tourism, but it's the behaviour. The Germans call it 'Mali', short for Majorca. They say 'we're in Mali, we're in Mali'. But they get away with murder here, that's what the Spanish people have a problem with,' he told the Mail. 'The Spanish say it's like Disneyland, they treat it like they can do anything. It's against the law to drink on the streets here since last year but they don't enforce it. If you walk down you'll see them with their beer cans. There is no respect. And the police just ignore it. "A German tourist came in the other day and asked 'are there any Spanish people living in this area?' Can you believe that. There are Spanish locals living and working here, and the Germans are all over the streets.' He added about police cracking down on anti-social behaviour. 'I think in Magaluf they have been a bit stricter. They need to do the same here,' he said.

Harrowing final words of tortured prisoner executed in 'human slaughter house'

Warning: Distressing content. Thousands of people died inside Bashar Al-Assad's 'human slaughterhouse' prisons in Syria - and one man's harrowing final words were documented by a guard The conditions inside Bashar Al-Assad's 'human slaughterhouse' prisons in Syria were beyond most people's worst nightmares. Thousands of people died inside them, or vanished - but everyone incarcerated within them suffered. ‌ Torture was a daily horror, not just in the much-dreaded interrogations, but in the conditions within which the prisoners were held in such close proximity that some are even said to have suffered psychosis from oxygen deprivation. ‌ When his oppressive regime was finally overthrown, relatives of those who had been imprisoned flooded into the facilities, desperate for answers about where their loved ones had gone, and footage was recorded of families searching frantically through debris for any clue of their fates. ‌ Brit wife of exiled Syria dictator Bashar Al-Assad 'barred from UK' amid cancer battle Qatar Airways resumes flights to Syria after 13 year break due to civil war Prisoners were fed like animals from large pails, and lived in such cramped conditions that guards revealed it was not possible to see the floor. At the Air Force Intelligence branch in Harasta, conditions could not have been more hellish. ‌ The once-second-in-command of the facility, Colonel Zain, hauntingly admitted: "The place I worked in was very famous for its bloody practices and the number of detainees held there. We would pack 400 detainees in a room that was eight by ten metres. "You wouldn't set eyes on the floor when you entered; bodies of detainees blanketed it. The screams emanating from the interrogation room situated directly below my office were no secret. It was common knowledge how we conducted our interrogations. "The temperature was around 40 degrees, because it was so crowded. We saw strange cases of disease amongst prisoners, I think, due to oxygen deficiency because of overcrowding. These psychotic episodes soon turned into physical symptoms," he said to BBC Two's documentary Surviving Syria's Prisons. ‌ It has been estimated by Amnesty International that 13000 people died in these nightmare slaughterhouse prisons in just the first four years after the Arab Spring in 2011, which, after a brief hope it might bring better times, swiftly turned into a hellish civil conflict, with protests in Damascus put down ruthlessly. Inside these prisons, guards tortured - often entirely false - confessions from prisoners, threw execution parties, and were even told to "bury them alive". ‌ Hussam, another guard and former military policeman, told the BBC of the haunting last words of a prisoner who faced execution, and the extensive torture they inflicted on prisoners. "Our superiors would say, 'Torture them, don't let them sleep at night. Throw them a party... put them in a grave if you want to, bury them alive'. "When they'd call me to go and torture them, the prisoners would go back to their cells bloody and exhausted. On Wednesday mornings, we'd have an 'execution party'. Our role during executions was to place the rope on the prisoner - only an officer could push the chair." He continued, "One time, the chair was pushed, but after 22 minutes he didn't die. So I grabbed him and pulled him downwards, so another guard who was bigger and stronger said, 'go I will do it.' Before he died he said one thing: 'I'm going to tell God what you did'." An army nurse revealed in the documentary that they were not allowed to record the real causes of death, whether that was extensive torture or execution. "It was forbidden to record the cause of death as torture. Even those killed from gunshots were recorded as heart and respiratory failure." Over 130 mass grave sites have so far been discovered in Syria, with families facing the distressing prospect of struggling to identfiy their loved ones amongst the countless dead.
