MALLORCA TODAY - Too many beach umbrellas in Can Picafort

The mayor of Santa Margalida has ordered the concessionaire who provides the service of beach umbrellas and sunbeds on the main part of the beach in Can Picafort to remove nearly 600 umbrellas which exceed the maximum permitted. The umbrellas are, in addition to being excessive, too close in some cases to the sea. Can Picafort has a history of problems associated with its beaches, a former mayor, Antoni del Olmo, being forced to resign over a case of alleged corruption in respect of the beach service.
