"There are clubs called Oberbayern and Bierkönig, the latter resembling an Oktoberfest beer tent. The fishy smells of Paella mingle with the subtle aromas of bratwurst and French fry fat. They call it the "Ballermann" – a German derivation of the Spanish word Balneario, or bathing beach, which probably isn’t that easy to pronounce after a bucket of Sangria.
For many years, it has been synonymous with raucous revelry and fun in the sun, German style. The Ballermann is to Germans what the Spanish mainland resort of Benidorm is to the British, only more so, because it’s so exclusively Teutonic. In fact, if you lay claim to a pool sunbed by placing your towel on it at dawn, nobody will bat an eyelid here, because everybody does it."
