Christmas at the Wheel: Why So Many on the Balearic Islands Keep Driving After Drinking

Answer

Where are police checkpoints often placed in Mallorca during festive nights?

Checkpoints are often set up on access roads and busy routes where nightlife traffic is likely to pass. In Palma, that can include main connections such as the Ma-20, while other towns also see controls on key outgoing roads. The aim is not only to catch offenders but also to make drink-driving harder to normalise.
