Resumen

For some time, young British holidaymakers have developed a reputation for violence, excessive drug and alcohol consumption, promiscuous sex, and general unruliness in the holiday resort of Magaluf, Majorca. With intermittent assistance, author spent five years studying this resort from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and previously another three researching a similar version called San Antonio in Ibiza where similar conduct is prevalent. While these behaviours stem, on the one hand, from embedded attitudes of undertaking an extended and more dangerous version of ‘going out’ each weekend in the UK, the Brits high-risk activities are also endorsed by the commercial context of the resort: the bars, the clubs, strip joints, takeaways and the ever-present thread of illicit sex and drug economies which envelope the resort.
