Magaluf 2015: Bucking broncos, budgie smugglers and new laws

New laws have kicked in in the Spanish holiday resort town of Magaluf to help curb anti-social and excessive drinking culture.

The local government has banned drinking in the streets, urinating in the streets and public nudity.

Our reporters Chi Chi Izundu and Jimmy Blake are there, on the island of Majorca, to see whether the crackdown is working.

Anyone found breaking the rules could face a fine of several hundred pounds.

Chi and Jimmy say that Saturday night was definitely the busiest.

Here's what they saw over the weekend.

Sunday

Chi: Last night was interesting. There was a lot of nudity, a lot of public urinating and lots of open drinking in the streets. We also spent time with Christian charity workers called Street Angels, who basically go around helping the inebriated and ushering the lost back to their hotels. "The other night we were here with a guy trying to wake him up for an hour, and trying to get him to remember the name of his hotel. So it's nice when they have friends with them who know the name of their hotel." We also noticed the later in the evening the more heavy a police presence there was. Thankfully on Sunday, it's a little overcast and the beach is filled with bodies sleeping off the night before.

Jimmy: Sunday morning on the strip - and the surrounding area - felt like it was struggling from a collective hangover. A few stumbling walks of shame were tainted by a haze of cheap spirits as well as sashes and ripped vests in the road reading "bride to be" and "Kyle's stage - Wolfman", providing evidence of the night before. Although the majority had retreated to hotel rooms or the beach to build stamina for the evening ahead, club promoters maintained their charm offensive to offer cheap drinks and free fast food to anyone ready for hair of the dog. By day three it's no surprise to see a handful of pubs busy with Brits, especially as England are playing later. As the chants echo down the strip, it's hard to feel like the continuous morning-after effect across Magaluf has been watered down by the new laws.

Saturday

Chi: Saturday night was definitely the busiest we've seen it. One of the new laws includes a ban on nudity in public. Before 10pm saw a woman exposing her breasts and a guy using his penis as a drumstick against a lamp post. As the night wore on we saw a stronger police presence, but we also saw more drinking in the streets, nudity and urinating in public.

Jimmy: As Saturday night became Sunday morning reps, bouncers and a group of charity workers in hi-vis, known as street angels, said the strip was noticeably busier than seven days ago. However, most said there were fewer, smaller bar crawls compared to this time last week when the laws weren't in place. Holidaymakers who had been here in previous years said the change was noticeable but that the new rules hadn't put them off. One guy summed up many punters' view with the line "Magaluf will always be shagaluf".

Friday night

Chi: We hit the strip at around 9.30pm. The first thing we notice are the large groups (about 30-40 people deep) being walked to various bars. We later discover that most of this first lot are not British. Around 11pm, the strip is packed. We spot people drinking but the bouncers outside the bars are also spotting them and ushering them off the streets and into the bars. At around 1am, the strip is heaving. Everyone is at the stage of drunk where they're just about able to stand. We chat to a rep called Jamie outside a strip club. He's 22 and it's his second season here. He tells us the workers are really wary of the media, because they've had newspaper reporters offering hundreds of pounds for people to pee in the street. All night, we see one police car and two officers on a bikes. By 2am our night is cut a little short when reps and bar workers get angry we're talking to their staff.

Jimmy: A lot of people we speak to on the strip tell us "these new rules won't make a difference". Yet they go on to explain the changes they've seen since the laws came in on Tuesday. A bouncer, who doesn't want to be named, says his nights are busier because he has to make sure no-one drinks in the street outside his club. Various people also mention a lack of "plastics" (cups). The strip has clearly changed in the last week.

Friday afternoon

Chi: In case you've never been to Magaluf, it's an all-inclusive pleasure town by the beach. The main strip is a street, which you can walk end to end in about five minutes. It's lined with bars and tattoo parlours, with the odd chicken and pizza shop shoved in between. Families with young children mix with stag and hen parties during the day. We spot three police officers on our first afternoon. We are also greeted by a naked bum, four days after public nudity has been banned. We'll see what happens in the evening.

Jimmy: Although most of the bars on the main strip are deserted in the late afternoon, a handful are already in full Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents flow. It isn't hard to tick bucking bronco, wet T-shirt competition and lads in budgie smugglers off the Magaluf checklist by 4:30pm. We're also promised things will go on until at least 6am by a hardened promoter going by the name of Sammy.
