Is Arenal the new party capital of Mallorca? Well, let's find out
0:05
But stick around to the end and you'll see why partygoers have been upsetting the locals
0:30
Now I'm down here with my friend Marlis, she's the closest to a German that I could find
0:37
she's actually Dutch and we're going to head on into Arenal. Right so we're starting the walk tonight down by the Grand Fiesta Hotel, it's looking quite
0:47
busy, it's the beginning of September 2022, we're going to take a walk around and go and
0:53
see what it's like. So we're coming up along the walkway which runs alongside the beach
0:59
There's been a lot of criticism in the press for people bringing their own drinks down, sitting on the wall
1:05
But I can't see much trouble going on here. Lots of locals actually out for the night seeing what's going on
1:10
We're coming up to the first of the bars just across the way here. I can see the pow pow
1:15
I'm in front of the Abirastar Hotel, outside Bar Mojitos. Let's go and see what the nightlife's like
1:25
It's just looking back here
1:54
looking all very civilized down here in Arenal so far in front of a very nice looking bar
2:00
everyone out for a few drinks nothing too bad going down down here
2:15
I can see the first of the nightclubs tonight it's the club underground it's not really busy yet all the clubs get a lot busier around 11 12 o'clock
2:24
and they're still running a little tourist train as well to get up and down the resort
2:30
I'm hearing some music I'm seeing some people I think we're coming up to the first
2:36
bit of nightlife here in Aranel Okay so in the heart of Nightlife here in Aranel We are outside the Chiringuito Bar
3:03
We're going to head on into the thick of it We're going to see how busy it is I just want to dance
3:10
Ain't about money Ain't about the coolest job It's about having fun
3:20
And love that wants to make you shine You, it's all about you
3:25
No matter what the others say But now I'm down talking, the lights on me
3:33
I tell you I guarantee this nice spot I'll take a turn for the better
3:38
Now the rain is pouring and all I see is Lightning around my feet now
3:44
Nothing can bring me down I just wanna dance So my heart goes out like that
3:49
I can definitely sit down here now and now it's loads busier
4:05
It's massively busier. But it's a really good atmosphere down here. Everyone's just out here having a good time
4:19
So it's after midnight down here
4:36
We're just seeing the market. Well, some of the stalls are closing up
4:40
Some of them are still open. Got to say, though, that street has to be the busiest street I've seen out here on the island
4:49
Way busier than Magaluf at this time of night. It's weird how, because here you feel like everyone stayed home
4:56
And then that one street is like, oh. That's where they've all gone. Everyone's there
5:01
But then I expected like pretty young people. And everyone like. Really old
5:07
Our age. Really old. Really old. We're coming up to some more bars here
5:13
We're outside the beach house. We're on our way to Mecca Park
5:17
Let's see how busy it is around here too. Yeah we've got another really busy street here
5:24
So we've got Hello Le Club which is open and we can see some people going in
5:29
It's looking like that's going to be quite busy tonight. So we outside the chalet Siena really busy in here
6:07
loads of people are out loads of people having cocktails We're coming down to Megapark, super busy down here, super busy
6:31
It's so busy down here. Okay, I'm going to just pan the camera around just so you can get an idea of how many people
6:36
are out here outside Megapark in Arenal. There's loads of people. Absolutely loads of people. I'm so glad I've come here with my
6:45
friends who's getting lost in the crowds. Marlou, have you got any memories that you want to let me know about Mecca Park
6:53
Any time you've been here on holiday in the past? Yeah I recently went there with
6:57
someone and yeah it was very interesting. A lot of German people
7:02
but yeah, party all day there Let's go and check it out
7:32
Okay so now we've just bought the most expensive beer in Mallorca
7:44
We've got one litre of beer and we're going to have that between us, living dangerously
7:51
And the bill here is 15 euros for one beer. Thank you
8:32
Let go So these scenes are a sad end to a great night out
9:13
with the overflowing bins and rubbish everywhere and it's really upsetting the residents and rightly so
9:30
Okay, so with all the partying out here, this is why Aranel's been in the news
9:36
Loads of empty cans and bottles here Oh it smells yeah Okay, this isn't good. This is what we've been seeing in the news. We've been seeing
9:46
lots of bottles, lots of cans just being left on the side and the smell is absolutely disgusting
10:08
That's just rubbish everywhere you can understand now why it's in the news. This is not good I
10:17
don't know if all this is going to get cleared up in the morning who knows. So if you want to see
10:22
how nightlife in Magaluf compares to nightlife in Aranel well check out the link in the description
10:29
text below this video or click on the link right at the end. So as you can see we have survived
10:35
our experience over in Megapark in Aranel this evening and I've even got the t-shirt to prove it
10:42
everyone gets one if you if you order a 15 euro beer you get a free t-shirt
10:46
so what can I say about a night out in Aranel well I've got to say actually I think it's what
10:54
Magaluf wishes it was I've never seen anywhere so busy this summer apart from maybe Calamilore
11:01
and the only thing is I didn't like I didn't like all the cans all over the streets
11:05
but I think that's because everyone's buying cans of drink because at 15 euros for a beer in Megapark
11:11
of course people are going to be drinking outside the bars before going inside so that's probably why the promenade here
11:18
is just littered with tons of cans and bottles apart from that the atmosphere was quite good
11:24
there was no fighting a few people being sick but apart from that it was a pretty good night
11:32
anyway thanks very much for watching you can find me on the Facebook group and on my Instagram
11:40
so it's goodbye from me and Marlowe's here in Aronnell bye for now bye
