MAGALUF, Spain (Reuters) - Bar and restaurant owners in the Spanish resort of Magaluf cheered the return of British tourists after London loosened travel restrictions to the Balearic Islands, though many worry another weak summer could push them out of business.

Renowned for its rowdy parties and cheap booze as much as its white-sand beaches, Magaluf has long been a favourite among Britons, whose absence over the past six months had transformed the usually buzzing resort into a ghost town.
