HOW early would you wake up for a prime parking spot?

For residents of Calle Nuredduna in the Mallorca capital Palma, getting up long before the sun rises is the only hope of securing local parking.

The queue began to form at 6am on Wednesday, November 17 for those hoping to get their hands on one of the fifty parking vouchers for the Gabriel Alomar Avenue carpark.

 Local Natalia Bosch joined the queue at 6:30am explaining that the discount voucher was the only hope she had of finding a parking space when she returns home from work at 10pm each night.
