Critical after fall in abandoned club in Alcudia

Critical after fall in abandoned club in Alcudia

An 18-year-old man was rushed to Son Espases Hospital on Saturday after falling from the roof of the long-abandoned hospital. Es Fogueró Nightclub in Alcudia.

The accident occurred around 5 p.m., with local police reporting that it fell about twenty meters. A friend said the roof collapsed under him. It’s unclear why he was on the roof.

The Guardia Civil implemented the green alert protocol to give maximum priority to the Son Espases ambulance. The ambulance had to stop first at the Inca hospital to give him blood.

Es Fogueró opened in 1989 at a time when, as one observer put it, the club was like the mothership of an arms race in Mallorca to stage large events filled with strobe lights and loudspeakers the size of a truck. Julio Iglesias performed there in August 1989, but the club’s ambitions did not materialize. It closed its doors in 1992 and is now in ruins.
