Magaluf is a popular destination for a lot of Irish youth's 6th year holiday experience. It's a place unlike no other, and is some sort of English/Irish warped exotic landscape.
If you were lucky enough (but mostly unlucky) to have spent some amount of time in this holiday destination on the Spanish island of Majorca, you'll no doubt know of it's "interesting qualities." From sick lining nearly every street, getting a throat infection from the dodgy vodka or waking up every morning to the sound of a DJ blaring Calvin Harris – memories we all choose to forget.
1. Getting a Rushkinoff cough
This evil vodka that was used in every single drink on the strip can only be compared to paint stripper. It was rumoured to be used as floor cleaner for the super nightclub BCM.
2. Paying an extortionate amount of money to head to BCM
Paying €80 to see Calvin Harris or Tiesto play for 3 hours was absolutely scandalous but we all paid for it anyway. Just goes to show when you've got Maga fever you'll do a lot of silly things.

3. Having a one night stand with one of the bar tenders
Magaluf was a sort of sexual awakening for many of us. Countless people lost their V-card and even more got down and dirty with at least one bar tender. They don't call it Shagaluf for nothing, eh?
4. The DJ by the pool being your personal alarm clock
Pretty much every hotel had a resident DJ who would start the extremely loud music at around 9am every single morning. It was so loud that no amount of drink could be consumed to sleep through it. *shudder
5. Getting sick at the nearby water park
Not many ventured outside of the strip but for those that did the water park was about as far as they got. As every single night was spent drinking copious amounts of alcohol, the water park was a guaranteed puke fest.

6. Riding that stupid mechanic bull
Thousands of euro was wasted by all Magaluf revellers riding that mechanic bull. It was conveniently located at the epicentre of the strip and was as painful to ride as it was to pay for.
7. Going on some sort of pub crawl
This would result in drinking loads of Rushkinoff and more than likely puking your ring up.

8. Heading to a foam party
For someone like me who wears contact lenses this was the epitome of hell on earth. Soapy bubbles being thrown into your face not only burned the eyes off you, it also made the contacts fall out which resulted in a very challenging walk home.
9. Finally...burning to a crisp
With our fair Irish skin, the heat mixed with day drinking meant lots of us forgot to put on sun cream. The result was catastrophic.
