Last summer, Magaluf made the headlines for the worst possible reasons when a video emerged of a girl performing sex acts on 24 men in a club in exchange for a shot. The subsequent media storm, where the girl was trashed on social media, the boys who also featured were totally ignored and the entire nation indulged in a good bout of hand-wringing, basically led to the question, what the hell goes on in Magaluf? Despite attempts from the Spanish authories to crack down on street drinking this summer, bars in the resort are reportedly offering all-you-can-drink happy hour deals this year, and a quick search for #maga15 on Twitter reveals that last year's controversy hasn't done much to put people off paying a visit.
But what does a night out in Magaluf 2015 really entail? We asked one photographer to follow several stag dos on nights out around the town to find out. The results were poignant and actually surprisingly beautiful. Who knew Maga2015 could be so photogenic?
