Sign of the times maybe
A very strange sight to be seen in the middle of August is the above picture of the Aqua-park in Magaluf. Normally at this time of year the place is buzzing and the car park is full. Not this year, the park is closed and the reason given is that, Aqualand Magaluf is improving itself for you this summer, and thus will remain closed. It just seems strange that the place is closed during the busiest part of the year and there is an empty car park with no workmen in sight. Maybe its another sign of these times of recession.
