Nightclubs in Ibiza and Magaluf are set to stay shut this summer despite Spain reopening its borders later this month.

Clubs in Ibiza, Magaluf and Mallora are not allowed to open this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, even though Spain will be reopening its borders on June 21.

The Balearic government has said that the clubbing scene won’t be reopening due to the risk to health and the difficulty with controlling huge crowds.
